Part of the WiiFit shortage in America is the fact that NoJ isn't making that much off the US version with the weak dollar. We still get consoles because Americans still buy a lot of games.

I'm starting to see the Wii Music correlation, but that pretty much means no. Whenever I try to guess what Nintendo will do at E3, they prove me utterly and completely wrong.

 

This weak dollar theory is a red herring. Nintendo is a sharp company and they set the price they needed to.

We saw shortages in Japan at launch, and in Europe with the US launch even though they were spreadout over months.

 

I have a sneaking feeling that the Wiimote/Wiiboard factory was making room for for Wii Motion Plus.

 

I had assumed Wiimusic was going ot be the keynote but know I have no idea.

 

It's not that they are purposely not sending any to the US: say they produce 300k a week (number pulled out of nowhere) and they will sell out no matter where you send them then would you send the bulk to Japan (8900 Yen) Europe (89 euros) or US ($89)

If somebody offered you $89, 89 euros, or 8900 yen which would you take?
