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.

Why is it that no 360 fan has mentioned shortages since around February/March yet every month PS fans bring it up as if Starcraft is running around yelling "Shortage" every day?

That's because 360 fans were using shortages as an excuse as to why PS3 has beaten the 360 in NA. Now it's pretty clear that the PS3 didn't need Xbox360 shortages inorder to beat it on a monthly basis.

The three stores I was in today that had neither Wiis nor WiiFits say otherwise...granted, this is a small subset of stores, but I still doubt your 'just about' every store claim. Evidence? Even anecdotal?

Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.
