[QUOTE=''FearTheRain'']That console came out over a year ago and it's still sold out. I work at Best Buy and we only get them in once a month. About 15 or so and they sell out within a few days because no one else has any for sale.Why is Nintendo intentionally bleeding the market dry? [/QUOTE]Supply cannot keep up with demand. Simple as that.Why is the wii still sold out?
Dunno really, by now one would think there shouldn't be any manufacturing troubles. And yet nintendo still doesn't supply enough... :?
[QUOTE=''Strider212'']Supply cannot keep up with demand. Simple as that.[/QUOTE]Supply will never keep up with demand if the supply is too low.
It seems the manufacturing problems still persist since Nintendo isn't used to such heavy demand. Couple that with the fact there was never a downtime that they could stock Wiis away in warehouses like Microsoft and Sony could do with their Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

Because people keep buying it.

Wii is a worldwide success and Nintendo isn't as big or MS and Sony so they can't produce as many machines. I guess...
Yeah something is up, I have a feeling that theyll let a flood of wiis come out with BRAWL in March. Why else would they be doing this? Not enough supply to meet demand is bull crap, nintendo has plenty of money- I think they are just preparing for the gameing in March

Honestly, just stop relying on Walmart and try somewhere else.
[QUOTE=''FearTheRain''][QUOTE=''Strider212'']Supply cannot keep up with demand. Simple as that.[/QUOTE]Supply will never keep up with demand if the supply is too low.[/QUOTE]That's a silly statement. Why on earth would Nintendo withhold units to its customers? That defies logic. It is in Nintendo's best interest to sell as many units to as many customers as possible. While they make a nice profit off of consoles, a large userbase will ultimately yield more revenue than just the console alone. With each console sold, customers will buy games, of whose profits some goes to Nintendo.If you think that Nintendo is creating an artificial demand, you apparently do not understand much about the market.
because everyone and there grandma is buying it(literally)

I would imagine that its because it has good games that people want.
there are obvious reasons for nintendo to keep the supply low 1. to make it seem like the wii is still the most desired console on market 2. to justify the comparitivly high price for this piece of low grade tech3. to ensure steady sales - no flooding of the market bottom line to max out profit - just like any smart buisness would do, take advantage of leading position
I hear SEARS is a good place to go as well but I haven't been inside one in years.

You don't have to pretend when your product IS the most desired console on the market. It's by far the cheapest console on the market. Call me when Sony and/or MS regularly outsell the Wii. Then we can talk about not supplying enough products to the market.
