Of course, this is still speculation, but I think it's true. Even the PS2 and 360 shortage was gone in 4 months. It has been over 5 months and Wii shortage is still rampant. This is just ridiculous now. It is also bad business on Nintendo's part. Wii is being bounced around a lot on Ebay because people still can't find them anywhere else. "But, but Wii gets big shipments to stores that immediately sell out in 10 seconds AvidGamer!" Even if that is the case, Sony had enough PS2 supply to satisfy the enormous demand after 4 months.
And, if I am wrong, and Nintendo isn't deliberately causing a Wii shortage, then Nintendo needs to open another manufacturing plant. But we all know how Nintendo likes to save as much money as possible, and Nintendo would have to spend some of its precious money to open another manufaturing plant. Like Nintendo can't afford that :roll: Either way --- Gamers are getting the shaft. Funny how I hear "Nintendo is the only company who cares about its audience". Yeah, sure...whatever.

C'mon this is just pathetic. The artifical shortage (if any) has been going just this last month and only because Nintendo had met its yearly goals. Your link even says the shortage benefits competitors and scalpers and not nintendo directly so it really just makes the Wii-mania stronger than it is.
