Wii Supply Shortage for Christmas 2009?
Christmas 2008 saw a huge demand for the Nintendo Wii Console which left many unhappy customers without one in time for Christmas. WiiFirst.net even ran an update service that posted which stores had supplies in stock.
Dan DeMatteo the CEO of GameStop predicts that consumers can expect another shortage of the Wii Console this coming Christmas due to continued and unprecedented demand.
In an interview with GameDaily, DeNatteo said "I’ve never seen this type of demand before. I know they’re making more, but we’re still short like everybody else. I think we’ll have a continued shortage this Christmas."
Even though Nintendo has increased the Wii hardware production, the console’s supply is still limited in North America.
As demand increases towards Christmas the chances of supplies running out is a real possibility.
If you know someone who is planning to purchase a Wii Console this Christmas then our advice is to tell them to order one early to avoid disappointment. The Wii Fit is also in big demand still.
