A friend told me its because that’s the way they want it. That makes it more desirable and thus more of a demand. Sounds like he maybe right. Why is the Wii console so hard to find anyway?

That's triple the original production. Not even the massively popular PS2 was selling that many a month. Nintendo is just too conservative for their own good. But what would you expect from a company that was slated to end up dead last this gen by all of the analysts? thebonafortuna, Nintendo has gone from 800K to 2.4M a month.

They also seem unwilling to ramp up production. I don't care what they say about "doing their best" - its been two years, they've had ample time to adjust for demand. Can't speak for Devin, but that definitely causes some negativity on my part towards the company. Supply is so low because Nintendo is shipping most of them to Europe, where profit is much higher.

Why the negativity? It's a fine console, is fun to play, has some good games, and people like it. Let go of your anger. “modded gamecube” is not only unoriginal, it’s pointless. Why the negativity?
