Nintendo Intentionally Holding Back Wii Stock?  by James B at 20:49

Nintendo
Wii Gamesindustry.biz are running an interesting little story that focuses on comments made by US retailer Gamestop COO Dan DeMatteo:

"This is just my opinion – I think they intentionally dried up supply because they made their numbers for the year. Their new year starts April 1 and I think we're going to see supply flowing," he said.


A common enough business practice - will we be seeing a sudden influx of new units by the end of next month? As I got mine on launch I've no idea on the current difficulty of getting a Wii in Europe - are any of you tearing your hair out trying to get one?

seems daft that there are still shortages so it is at least believable
