When does the Wii shortage stop becoming annoyance and start becoming a problem?

No matter how strong the holiday lineup is for any of the consoles.......PS3, Wii, or 360 (they're all VERY strong in one way or another) it won't matter if you have nothing to play it on. If Wii can't get units out there...(And this is a BIG holiday season for Nintendo more so than Sony or Microsoft IMO)...well Mom and Dad can't buy em for Johnny. And Johnny can't be disappointed can he? Hello ps3 or 360.MikeE21286

Dang, this must be what is happening with the DS and PSP. The DS is so supply contraint that people say forget it and went with the PSP. Nice logic.

Painting gamecubes white can't be that difficult.

It still takes longer.

i see em every now and then, i think it will be fixed by like septemberBut then immidatley go back to being sold out when super mario galaxy comes out :)walkerctranger

It depends on where you live. I live in Canada, and I imagine that the shortages aren't to bad, except for in the three major cities (Vancouver, Montréal, and Toronto). I live pretty much in the middle of nowhere, and the shortages stopped being a problem a long time ago.

Say that to the Japanese :3 They will hunt that DS down.

There's a possible chance of stockpiling.

The week before Dragon Quest was released in Japan, the Wii sold 70k, the week it was, it sold 100k.

The week before Paper Mario was released in the US, the Wii sold 90k, the week it was it sold 140k.

stockpiling from retailors happens all the time. that's nothing new. the real question is if nintendo is. this i currently doubt.

I see Wii's everywhere I go now. Is there still a shortage? That's odd considering my city still had the PS3 shortage long after everybody claimed stores were jam packed.ZIMdoom

[QUOTE="Hoffgod"]

And maybe this is just the crazy economist in me, but perhaps, just perhaps, this is due to overwhelming demand, not underwhelming supply, and Nintendo isn't in the position to start pumping out a ton more right away.

Nintendo doesnt the all the Wii's by themselves. They get Foxcon or Toshiba, who have the facilities, to do it for them. All they would need to do is lease 2 or 3 more production facilities. It's not like they can't afford it.

Besides, in the end, this boils down to a question of economies of scale. Yes, Nintendo would make more revenue by selling more Wii's, but they wouldn't necessarily make more profit. All the things I listed in my earlier post, Nintendo would have to do all them themselves, or contract it out to other companies to do, companies looking to make a profit in their business dealings. It's expensive to do. And if that cost of expansion is greater than the revenues of the new Wiis that get sold, then Nintendo has an economic incentive to not make more Wii's.

Expanding the scope of a business is not a simple thing. It is complicated, time consuming, and expensive. In the end, it can hurt the bottom line. And for a company that's as economically savvy as Nintendo, that's something I'm sure they're well aware of.

P.S. This is my second time writing this post. **** you, GlitchSpot!

Hope they have them for the holidays, or I probably wont end up getting one.Heil68

Best buy one now. Don't expect a Wii to be on yourliving roomafter November 12.

[QUOTE="MikeE21286"]I mean I understand there is large demand for the Wii and everything......but seriously, Nintendo...you are misisng out on PRIME sales for your system right now.

I think Nintendo should start stockpiling for the holidays. At any other time of the year, people will be willing to wait their turn to get a Wii. At christmas, however, I can see people getting a 360 or a PS3 as an alternative, because they want to get little Billy something, even if it's not quite what they asked for.

Why would you want a 360? To experience the red rings of death? M$ themselves admitted the design of the hardware was flawed. Why would you want to buy something with a flawed design, huge failure rate, that might not work?

He's right. It would be a whole different story. Before the PS3 came out, many people were saying Sony wouldn't be able to fix the blu-ray diode problem until March. Sony fixes that.....people start saying it's not selling. So I think he's pretty much right. It wouldn't have been looked at as a positive thing.

In the US, where the biggest shortages occur, the Wii sells 300-400k units a month. The PS3 struggles to break 100k.

That's why people are saying it's not selling. Not because they fixed the Bluray diode issue, but because it isn't selling. Like the Wii, it's an issue created by demand. For the Wii, there's too much. For the PS3, not enough.

You're late by about a few months, they're not hard to find anymore.kittykatz5k

^^I still don't see em anywhere.....MikeE21286

Have you even bothered trying to look? As in ask a couple stores when the next shipment is? I find it hard to believe that you would, considering you've shown a less than favorable intrest in buying the wii, throughout your history...

I own one......and yeah, I just bought one less than a month ago.....took me 2 weeks straight of calling to find one (twice I went to a store and they had one left and I walked in to watch the person buy the last one on the shelves).

To all those saying it's not hard to find one at all.....then why all these reports about Wii shortages expected to continue through the 2007 holiday season. Maybe for some reason around your area you can find some......but most of the country (if not the world) is another case.MikeE21286

It's not hard if you try. But yes, it will be murder in the holiday seasons. Super Mario Galaxy a week before Thanksgiving (IDK your American Thanksgiving's date :x). Then after a month later you have Brawl.

All the Wiis will be gone.

Wii will probably, no, will definetlyhave shortages this holiday, but the idea of there being shortages at the moment to the point where you can't get one has really started to go down into a bit of a myth more than reality. BTW, thanksgiving is november 25th

I don't think you got my point. When the PS3 came out, it was actually supply constrained because Sony could not manufactur enough of them to put them out on the market (because of the diode problem.) It was selling good when the diode problem was solved. It slowed down middle of February. Sony's target are being met, it's not doing as good as the Wii, but it also doesn't cost $250.

Neither of Sony's problems could possibly be seen as a positive thing. No one is saying that the Wii shortage is a good thing, they just don't think that the shortage is artificially created. From what I see, Nintendo has no reason to hold back shipments, and at a million a month, that doesn't sound too stingy.

Last week was my bro's B-Day. So I went to Toys R Us to get him a Wii. I had been tipped off that they would have 40 when they opened on sunday. I got there 30 mins before the store opened and there was already a line. TRU was letting people in before they opened two at a time to buy wiis. When I got there, 23 had already sold. Before the store even opened, all 40 were sold off. It was pretty crazy.

I don't knwow aht N can do about it though. They are already shipping 1.5 mill every month. They are even talking about upping it to 2 mill. What do they do if 2 mill a mounth is not enough?
