If some of the above people are correct I must say I am ASHAMED of SONY

what a CHEAP move..."oh we'll predict it low n then raise it later to make Ps3 look like its pwning"

I agree it's cheap, but sadly that's the way this world works. Just remember though that it's not just Sony doing stuff like that. MS took the huge RRoD hit a year or so ago to be able to report profits now, and Nintendo isn't even trying to raise production enough to satisfy demand because the longer their console is sold out the better they look.

Reasons like these are why I never trust official statements. I want to see audited financial statements beforeI believe anything from a large company.


Actualy, Nintendo is planing to raise production again. 2.4m/month is the number being tossed around.


After they raised it from 2.3/month a while ago. If we're lucky they may soon hit 2.5 per month. They're only making these token increases to be able to say they're trying to meet demand. The reality is that they want the Wii to stay sold out because it makes their product look even more popular than it already is.


Oh my little troll, my beautiful liitle troll!!

You have been a good boy come here and get your fish my good troll.


Care to explain why Nintendo would NOT want the Wii to be sold out. I raised a legitimate issue, and you in turn did nothing but attack me personally. Who's the real troll here?


I completley understand what your saying , he's a fanboy so he'll easy mistake anything that sounds anti-nintendo as an assault on the company.

Wii's being sold out would be good for the reason that it has a psycological effect on the consumer , they want what they can't have which will increase the desirability and value for money of the Wii, if Nintendo can make the demand slighty greater than that of their supply ( assuming the demand remains high) then it will result in long term profitability for Nintendo.


Actually, no. That's only good for short bursts like the release. If you are sold out for giant stretches of time people get fed up, you lose sales and you leave money on the table.

It's a horrible idea to be sold out for any long period of time if you can push more stock into the market.

You didn't read what I posted before replying. If Nintendo can get their demand to be slightly greater demand for the forseeable future then I think that's an excellent thing.
