Bullturd! They can't possibly be having component shortages, its not as if it has some breakthrough new technology thats hard to produce like the PS3s blu-ray.

Problem for not able finding Wii system in any retails because there are several thousand unsold Wii system at auction online. That piss me off.
It's fortunately, I was able to find Wii system in small town.

That's unfortunate for people who want a Wii...but hey, I got mine at launch so it doesn't matter to me. Lol. Now bring on Prime, Galaxy, and Brawl.

I am glad that I got mine the first day it came out. Luckily my brother worked at a video game store and was able to give me the heads up.

Just because something doesn't use the latest and greatest bleeding edge components doesn't mean you can't still have a component shortage. The Wii has sold far more than expected and the component makers were probably caught off guard just as much as Nintendo was.

Companies wanted to build the biggest ship in the world. A real miniature city on the water. When ordering steel they had to go to nearly every steel producing country and in shipments because they needed to so much material that whole countries' months' outputs were dwarfed by their needs. They needed all sorts of other things too like carpeting and wiring and had to sort out orders for components over years as they were building. And remember that Nintendo isn't the only company using those components either. No matter how tempting you can't choke the supply and deny others.

My local TRU has Wii's on the shelf. No shortage here (except in Wallyworld I think).

Maybe the reason is to secure travel and insurance agents:

*Skippy: "Just because something doesn't use the latest and greatest bleeding edge components doesn't mean you can't still have a component shortage."
Exactly. If you ramp up production, your costs go up and your profit margin goes down. Nintendo favors profit margin over sales. They always have.
Production isn't going to increase because Nintendo doesn't want it to.
