Wii shortage near end, why now?



Do you know someone that spent weeks, months or more trying to locate a Wii? Have you wondered why they have been so hard to find? Read this article and see why the shortage is coming to an end. Even Grandma can get into the action now..... don't make fun of my grandma.

It's smart business. The Wii makes more money over in Europe and the demand in the states increases so much that when they bring a large shipment to the states people will be willing to spend large sums of money so that they can box, bowl, and play tennis all from the comfort of their own living rooms.

I think honestly for them as a company that selling the wii to Europe to make more money is in their best interest. Yeah people here want to play too but if the conpany does not make enough money to make more wii then they can sell them here either. I love the game and I know that it's expensive but I'll still buy one.

Nintendo knows what they are doing when it comes to making money. First off, they were smart enough to make an enteractive system where you have to move, and it is so high tech that it is actually really fun. Secondly, Nintendo made the price of the Wii only $250. That price is half of an Xbox360 or Playstation3. Nintendo went way out there this time and it really paid off. Ill give them my props on this move.

I don't blame nintendo for this at all. Especially since I already have my Wii. It is easily the best purchase I have made in a long time. I can only hope that it does not become obsolete before I truly enjoy it. I would like it to last through my college days. Either way I am already satisfied with the price and how much I spent on it.IT was definately worth it,

it is a good idea for nintendo to sell wii to europe. they will make a lot more money over there than in america. It will be good for their business.

i have to agree with all of these, the people who work for Nintendo are pretty dang smart, and i have to give them props for doing what is best for the company.

it is definatly smarter for nintendo to make Wii's so hard to get a hold of. it makes people want them that much more. however i think if they did put more of them on the market that they would definatly be making more money considering how many people are trying to get there hands on one.

My uncle waited like two months to get his wii. But Nintento is really smart for selling their products to other countries that they know they will make more money from. But it sucks for us that we cant find one as easily and knowning our money isn't worth that much.
