Wii Shortages Could Last For Months

Posted by Zonk on from the get-with-it-big-n dept.

Next Generation is reporting that, apparently, the Wii shortages could continue for some time yet. This is news from Nintendo's Perrin Kaplan, Nintendo's VP of marketing and corporate affairs, speaking to the Game Theory Podcast. Says Kaplan, "There is a lot going on behind the scenes in terms of working on what we are producing and the numbers continue to rise but the product is so very popular that we may see a supply / demand situation last for some time. We are at absolute maximum production and doing everything we can. The number of units that we have been able to produce has far exceeded our hardware production in the past and the production levels of a lot of our competitors but demand continues to be really high."

    I thought we'd already learned from trustworthy media such as South Park that Japanese men have a chronic wii shortage...

    Since you already all know I'm a pervert, I feel little trepidation about announcing that you can find this very thing out by simply watching Japanese porn.
