No End In Site For Wii Shortage


In the never ending argument of which next-gen console is better than the other, in terms of sales there is an already clear winner- the Nintendo Wii. Sales are through the roof and even now it's hard to find the unit in any stores. And the drought is likely to continue:

From Digitimes: "Due to the tight supply of components such as IC chips and PCBs, Nintendo's plans to expand production of its Wii games console, originally set for June, have been delayed, according to Taiwan-based component makers,"

So expect long lines this holiday season and for the Wii's price on ebay to continue to be high. Most likely this will again be the must have, but hard to find gift.
