Nintendo will start shipping the Wii Fit starting May 21st. Amazon.com has already put a purchase limit policy in place for the Wii Fit arguing that there shortages of this product across the U.S.

Amazon only allows three Wii Fit accessories per household.

In March we reported that Nintendo plans a huge marketing blitz for the Wii Fit release and increases the monthly Wii supply by 150,000 consoles. Maybe Nintendo should skip the advertisement offensive if the Wii Fit shortage claims are true.
The Nintendo managed to sell 720,000 Wii consoles last month. It is still a now show at online retailers and customer still have to work with notification services or pay the premium on eBay or other 3rd party vendors.
It is questionable if the increase by 150,000 consoles will solve the shortage - especially if Nintendo runs a massive marketing campaign.

Why do Americans always pretend that USA equals the entire gaming network? 720K is only in the states.

Anyways, too bad we have another shortaged game. I'm starting to think it's a strategy...

EDIT: My bad! It mentioned this was America only! Sorry!

Because as far as the american consumer it is, if a game or system sells poorly here (Uncharted, Sega Saturn) that fact that its preforming well in the rest of the world is a non-issue. The sega saturn selling well in Japan didn't suddenly make American consumers more willing to purchase a Dreamcast did it?

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

I dought Wii fit is as hard to produce as the Wii itself , supply shortages for 2 months max after then steady sales.
