Who do you tink treats gamers the best? Msft, Sony, or Nintendo?
I am sort of miffed at Nintendo for not making enough consoles or Wiifit to meet demand. The Xbox has HW problems, but they extended the warranty. The PS3 delivers on HW and HD.
Seems to me that Sony and Microsoft are better to gamers than Nintendo. The 360's overheating problems are a negative, but I like the Xbox 360s game linup better, so it is outfront of the PS3 for me.

Nintendo doesn't manufacture the Wii itself, Foxconn does. They also manufacture the PS3 and Xbox360.
With this in mind, Foxconn can only assemble as many Wii units as they have parts available to them. Analog Devices (Wii-mote accelerometer), SMTElectronics (nun-chuck accelerometer), Broadcom (Wi-Fi chip), MoSys (1t-SRAM), etc...are all producing their components as fast as their production facilities can handle and Foxconn itself has Wii lines running 24/7/365. Nintendo Wii supply is at the mercy of their vendors...as are all electronics companies.
Their failure to provide more product at retail than any console maker in history is not only not their fault but a very pitiful excuse to suggest they treat their consumer base poorly.
In terms of customer support, Nintendo has lead this category for years.
