Doesnt surprise me. Lets see what comes out in the next 6 months. Mario Kart Wii, Wii Fit, WiiWare. Possibility of Wii Music, Tales of Symphonia, Fatal Frame IV, Monster Hunter 3, Disaster Day of Crisis, Rock Band, Spore, etc. This isnt even counting any unannounced games or sleeper hits that may be coming.

 Most of that is good but Monster Hunter 3 is 09, FF4 and Spore are also most likely 09.


 Forgot about MH3 being pushed to 09.  Good catch.  As of now though, Spore is scheduled for a September release. Whether it'll be delayed (again), only time will tell.

That's BS. Gamestop doesn't know what Nintendo is going to do the next 6 months. For all they know production is up to 15 million a week by then.

 You're not serious right?

Jeez, no reason to call me stupid.

I just didn't know if you were serious or not, it was a question.

I read on gonintendo that the PC, Mac, and DS version hit in Sep and the Wii version will come later and be different.

 It's just a prediction made by their analysts. No different than what we see here every day. Nobody's claiming to have a crystal ball.

When you have to make decisions based on an uncertain future, you can either make an educated guess or give up and do nothing. Guesses can be wrong but they're better than nothing.

It's just weird to me, PSP has been out in america for three years [in a week], and I'm just trying to figure out why there'd be shortages.


My guess would be that with the way the PSP was selling last year that Sony decressed production.  Now that it is selling much better they are probably selling more then they currently produce.  And as we have said about the Wii many times, it is not easy to instently increase production.  So there may be a point were they run out of "shelf stock" before production can catch up to demand.



Might be expecting lots of sales of the GoW PSP bundle.



So the Wii will be in short supply for the 2nd year? This is some real interesting stuff. Are you telling me that Nintendo can't manufacturer these things quicker? My goodness PS3s and 360s are usually always on store shelves except for the holidays. Shame on Nintendo for not revving up production.
