Why Nintendo has been "slow" to increase production.

The wii is a lot more complex to construct than your average PS3 or 360, what with motion sensitivity. I think that 1.8 million is enough to supply demand without the factories overproducing the wii, causing the technology to not work with maximum efficiency.
I don't know much about the topic though, but I'm sure quality control must come into it somewhere.
Correct me if I'm wrong on this statement, because I'm not sure if I'm right or not.

Statements like these crack me up. The Wii is harder to make than the PS3 or 360?????!!!!!! for starters, the 360 has a customized IBM PowerPC based triple-core processor and a modified top-of-the-line ATI graphics card; also thrown in is 512MB of premium quality GDDR3 video RAM and a few other toys that make the console one of the most formidable media centers on the planet. In other words: way harder to make than the Wii's glorified PS2 processor and GPU. And don't even mention the PS3's IBM Cell Broadband Engine with an ultra-cutting-edge PPU and 8 (count 'em) SPEs and it's built-from-the-ground-up-for-the-PS3 NVIDIA RSX "Reality Synthesisor" GPU; also included is 256MB of GDDR3 RAM and 256MB of experimental XDR main RAM that runs at an insane 3.2GHz. I could also mention the PS3's formidable media center capabilities that put it in the top two (with the 360) most comprehensive and versatile media center computing equipment EVER. (also, don't forget about the PS3's BD profile 1.1 Blu-ray Disc player and it's 1080p DVD upscaler and its full-function Internet browser). And to top this all off, the Sixaxis and DS3 have the same motion sensor as the Wii except for the pointer capability. So yeah, the reason Nintendo is not producing more Wiis is DEFINATELY (as in NO QUESTION about it) not because of the difficulty of building it. Heck, the Xbox probably could have done all the things the Wii can (if M$ had included a motion sensor) and it was launched almost 7 years ago.
