Default Surely not another Wii christmas shortage?

Wii, PS3, xBox ect . . .

Not normally my kettle of fish, but when December rolls round and Nintendo’s marketing machine is in overdrive, the wholesale prices of early to mid year make the proposition of selling Wii's more appealing, provided of course your happy to let them gather the odd sprinkle of dust in the warehouse whilst waiting for the man in the big red coat to come round.

Nintendo's marketing tactic of not increasing production to match demand is seemingly working dividends for them to increase anticipation and not the 'want’ but the 'need' factor among consumers, but surely we can’t have yet another Christmas where you can’t purchase a Wii for love nor money? . . . . . . . can we????

(unless you want to pay £££££ off eBay for a imported model with no guarantee)

I'd be interested in hearing others views on the subject, Also does anyone fancy a sweep stake for the Dec 08 'No UK Retail Stock Available' message from Nintendo

Regards Leigh

I'm looking forward to the shortage if it comes, the Wii Fit craze is a great business opp for us at the moment (I don't usually go into this market but couldn't resist)

I am expecting it to happen again, as the same factors that caused last years shortage will apply again this year. I am considering getting some stock of Wii's in early while they are available. I was caught unawares last year but still made a packet. Roll on Xmas!

I think so too! The whole year EVEN NOW Nintendo pushes the date of delivery from one day to the next. That was one reason for our dilemma last Christmas. They confirmed us weekly supply and then simply shifted it to the next week...

...but for the ones, who get hold of it, it's very lucky
