so, vince, you put forth a crackpot theory, which you admit has no evidence… interesting.. and this theory requires a company, interested in, oh I dont know, making money, do give up on sales (IE: money) to acheive what? hype that they dont even need to drive?

just seems strange to me.

also seems weird that you wouldnt accuse the retailers, who actually have a reason to hold back stock. The stores have an interest in bringing tons of people in all at once, get them in with a big wii sale and sell the, tons of other stuff they dont need. while nintendo just wants units out there to increase userbase and potentially sell more of everything they try to pawn off.

also, why would ninty spend tons of money to make new plants to produce more wiis when this level of demand will never stick around. so they can invest now to satisfy demand then they would be stuck with productions facilities working at half capacity cus the demand has dropped. which yes. would cost them money.

*sigh* conspiracy theorists

I thought “news” stories were supposed to be unbiased. This is obviously written by someone who has a large hate-on for Nintendo. “Breaking lives”? Get serious.

Dunno where you’re at, but in New Jersey, theres a few shops that have had them waiting for sale. Of course, I might have popped in the same day as a shipment, but as of 7 pm that day, there were wiis ready to sell. I dont think it will be as bad as last year, just get one early on, before the holiday rush.
