After the last two Decembers of frustrated shoppers desperately searching for a Wii, Nintendo has announced that they will be upping the effort to meet demand this holiday season. It seems it's a slippery slope between holding out just enough to create ridiculous demand (also known as the Cartmanland strategy) and losing out on sales due to not being able to meet said demand. Still, Nintendo makes no promises that every Wii-seeker will find one: This year, Nintendo executives said there would be a “significant increase” in Wiis in stores, though they stopped short of promising that the company would be able meet demand entirely. “Will there be enough to meet demand?” Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America, said. “Ask me in January.”Sounds like Nintendo will also be releasing several cool and innovative new titles, along with the new MotionPlus wiimotes, so it should be a joyous Wii season this year. So glad I found my Wii and my Wii Fit both without having to spend more than market value. There's nothing worse than jonesing for some exclusive (expensive) product during the peak of the holiday sales season.
