I concede that, given the last year and half, for Nintendo's wimpy management even considering boosting production 30% is a bit of a miracle. However, the number 2.4 M is something that is not poorly written. Last holiday season Nintendo estimated that it left $1B in sales on the shelf because of product shortages. Four months later, no holiday rush and there are still no Wii in stock! The brand new Wiifit accessory is OOS! Nintendo's response? 1.8M/mo *1.3 to 2.4M/mo. In May, in the middle of the start of a election year recession, they are OOS and they suck it up and boost production 30%???? The Wii is not cutting edge technology. The production problem is related to how inept Nintendo's management is. The biggest problem with the Wii beating the PS2 is Nintendo management.
The urge to play is a terrible thing to waste.
