WiiFit doing good but it's not the announced fourth Age that some predicted and the longer Nintendo takes to fix their supply issue the more likely some casual buyers will loose interest in buying it...

That and it's going to be a while before there is a sufficent installed base of the board to support other products....

Isn't that what people said about the Wii 14 months ago?


 The wii is in stock at just about every store WW, so anyone who wants a wii can buy one, there is no massive stock shortage like ther was before.  By the end of July the wii will have decent stock across all stores WW, this will allow Nintendo to bump Production to 2.4mil for the start of August and have enough wii's WW for the Christmas rush. 


That's pretty funny ... If you look at Futureshop.ca and Bestbuy.ca the Wii is sold out at all but one location in Calgary (and I'm pretty sure that one store will be sold out by the end of the day). I walk into a walmart, Zellers or Real Canadian Superstore on a (pretty much) daily basis and have never seen a Wii on their shelf.

Certainly, if you camp out at a store on the day of a shipment you can get a Wii but I still think it is fair to say that availability for the Wii is still very low in many places.
