Last summer the same thing happened. Then when the holidays came, people were kicking themselves for not buying in the summer. I'm not saying the same thing will happen, but it should come as no surprise to see stock rising in the summer.

Nintendo's CEO has said that while the company will do all it can to satisfy demand, it cannot guarantee full supplies for the third year running.

"We are really intending to increase the shipments to the US, especially compared to last year," says Iwata, speaking to Forbes.

"However, I can't give you a 100 per cent commitment [that you'll be able to find a Wii this holiday season]. What I can commit myself to is that Nintendo is going to do its best to supply as many Wii hardware units as possible in order to meet demand there."

...

I guarantee, that just like last year - they will sell out pretty quickly, and there will be a LOT of people unable to find Wii units for purchase. It won't be as "bad" as last year though.

It won't be nearly as bad as last year, Nintendo is prepared better this year, and production has been 2.4 million since April. I think it will be similiar to the DS last year. Supply looked ok, then about 7 days before Cmas they went extict. I barely got one(About 9 days before Cmas)

I wonder if anyone still thinks Wii-Fit sales were dissapointing due to lack of demand.
