I think the real question is when will the Wii be easily purchasable during an Xmas period - probably 2009 (I can't imagine it still selling out then). WiiFit is going to be the next one - Ninty need to crank up production of that baby to 500k per week, if they seriously plan to launch outside of Japan soon (maybe they are already stockpiling...). |
Exactly. People need to understand that summertime is a huge lull in the video game market, which normally ends almost any demand problem. I mean for Wii to have still sold out in 2007 during the Summer was unprecedented. But once production increases by Summer 2008 supply should outstrip demand causing the shortage to be over. But that doesn't mean that when holidays come around that it won't sellout again, as this is when demand increases. Wii is the console version of the DS, and will follow similar trends as the DS, thus this is probably what will happen.
