Twestern is pretty accurate here. Nintendo simply can't aford to up the production of the Wii by any great amount. Remember that Nintendo have no multi-billion$ corp to fall back on if they f*ck up, unlike SCE and MSHE. They need to be carefull with their money. Imagine this, they could probably sell 3 million Wii's a month at this moment in time, but what if this demand slows to 1 million a month. The now have 2 million excess units per month, they can't leave the factories empty and it would cost money to close them down/terminate contracts. You may say that it is unlikely that the Wii popularity will decline soon but there are plenty of analysts in the games industry who think it will. While they may be wrong it would be foolish of Nintendo to completely disregard their opinions.

Nintendo have a very fine line to play with hear. They need to make sure that they can deal with current demand while not completely overestimating future demand. So far I think they have played it very well, although I think they could probably afford an upscale in production up to 1.5 a month without any great concern.

Where is it that you guys live that you can not Find Wii's? Most of the places that do sell it do not keep it out (I am not sure the reasoning for this?) I was in buying a PS3 game at the time and an elderly woman came into get a Wii for her Grandson I did not see any Wii's out and I assumed they were out but to my suprise Gamestop keeps them in the back. They said they had plenty I just saw the same thing at a Wal-mart last week? I really have not been looking too hard since I have a Wii already but I did notice they still have Gamecubes sitting on shelves too and maybe some retailers want those to leave first?

Although I can not speak for everywhere of corse... If it is still that far behind in production Nintendo will have to outsource because there is a small window they have before the 360 and PS3 will match the control style of the Wii and even though the fun factor is cool 3rd party titles have been less than good

yep you can "technically." Just as a store clerk to give you a call when a product is delivered to the store. EB and all those will do it all the time. I think even Walmart will do it. Sometimes they will even hold the item for you. 

I hope they can get more consoles out, about 6 friends are probably getting it just in time for Galaxt and Brawl.

I wanna see how things turn out next year. With some decent 3rd party support, WiiFit and other casual stuff, and maybe a killer Wii-DS connectivity game, sales could be just insane.

I wonder why no one uses the Wii and DS connection as potential >_

Although I can not speak for everywhere of corse

Yeah, things are different in every place. Though in the most relevant places it seems it is sold out.

Actually it is EB and Gamestop's policy for first come first serve on systems, they will hold GAMES for you, but they are not allowed to hold systems. I know I worked there, employes were not allowed to have systems held either. Go into any EB or gamestop and ask. You arent allowed to put money down on a system after it is released as well. This is the law at EB and Gamestop, I dont know about other places though.

More people buy hotdogs over steak that doesn't mean its better, people buy the wii because it is cheap. Put the PS3 at $250 and it would sell over 10mil per month. I hope you guys enjoy your 64 style graphics.

Gotta love PS3owner's way of thinking....

If the Wii were free it would sell over 10 million per month!

This is an excellent analogy. 

Steak is expensive,  is often tough to chew, and you have to go to a bunch of trouble to roll out your grill to make it properly which usually means it isn't worth the hassle!

Hotdogs are (relatively) cheap to buy, tastey as hell, and everyone loves them! Plus they really can't be any easier to prepare, and you will never find yourself chewing on the grissle of a hotdog. 

I'm sure thats not what you were going for, but my point actually has nothing to do with the Wii or the PS3.  I have nothing against the PS3 at all actually. My point has to do with people who can't help but smother as much BS as they can on top of every factoid they come across to get others to believe what they do.  And in true fanboy fassion they even step up the reteroic a notch when confronted with reality (see how he says the Wii is N64 graphics rather than GC?).  You and leo-j just keep on shrieking louder and louder hoping that someone will listen to what you have to say.
