Nintendo Faking Wii Shortage To Raise Holiday Demand
Posted by Victor Dangelo | Oct 10, 2007 07:41

Many reports have been coming out that Nintendo is going to have a shortage of Wii consoles this holiday season, but that may be just a ploy to spark extra demand for their console to beat the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Many analysts are stating that this is all just a game and that Nintendo has plenty of Wii consoles in stock. They have come out to the public and stated that they will have a shortage of consoles only to boost demand.

So if this is a ploy and nothing more than that Nintendo may be playing some dirty tricks to try and outsell the Xbox 360 as well as the PS3 and the upcoming 40GB version which will be priced to better compete with the PS3 and Wii.

The Xbox 360 is also threatening with a new Core console with the Xbox 360 Live Arcade priced at $279.99 to compete with the Wii as well.

If it comes out that Nintendo is lying about the Wii console shortage, Nintendo could be in for a public relations nightmare.

What proof is there? Or is this a angry rant because you bought a Ps3 that will soon be the new dreamcast (lool). Also My Walmart is still completely sold out of wii’s since it came out. The newer ps3 is a quick fix to try and save there system there going to be made poorly. Also you don’t see Ps3 giving away FREE ACCESSORIES for every wii owner & extended warranty.

LOL I’m totally calling you guys out on this. Pathetic attempt at slandering Nintendo. I like the nice touches though. It’s like the old trick of "Some people are saying...".  There’s not a single source named for any of this info. Just saying things like "may be just a ploy"  or "may be playing some dirty tricks".  That’s a whole lot of maybe isn’t it? I’d love to know who the "Many analysts" are that you’re referring to. What I know is that as of right now I can’t buy a Wii in my city. Not at Walmart, Future Shop or EB Games.
