"literally trying to catch up with demand" ... wow. As opposed to what? Only figuratively trying to do so?

I'm literally wondering how you can literally publish such a literally fatuous statement. Literally.

What's with people still thinking the Wii is just a fad? Trust me, if it wasn't worth waiting for, people would have stopped a long time ago.

I don't own any consoles (PC gamer for life!), but it's blatantly obvious to me that, among consoles, the Wii is the only one offering the right entertainment, at the right price.

From a corporate standpoint, demand edging out supply is good, but money in the bank is better. Do you really think Nintendo is sitting around asking "How can we make less money? I know, lets burn a bunch of cash to produce warehouses full of product and then NOT sell it! It's brilliant!"

Wake up. Nintendo wants everyone in the world to have a Wii. Now, vendors like Walmart and BestBuy on the other hand might stockpile to drive up the retail demand, but Nintendo doesn't have any say in that.

anybody else think the Wii shortages are deliberate so that the market isn't too saturated with Wii's too quickly??...it means two years after launch there is still high demand and because nobody can get one it is the still the 'in' thing to have...

Clever trick by Nintendo if i say so myself

...Nintendo are unable to supply sufficient Wii to meet demand. They'd keep everyone happy then, customers, shareholders, the CEO.

wow the name is all wrong, it doesn't look lite.
I wonder what it does for battery life
