It’s the underdog console that’s taking the next-gen race by storm, and it seems the Wii is also starting to give Nintendo a bit of a supply problem. The company can’t keep up with the high demand.Nintendo Europe’s Laurent Fischer has been quoted as saying the company is working to up its production abilities to keep gamers in Wiis.
“We are still struggling to deliver the right numbers of hardware to cope with demand," admitted Fischer. "We're planning to increase the production capacity but it's not something that can be done in a couple of days. We have to be patient."
The company is on schedule to meet the 6 million sales mark by the end of March, a figure that even surprises Nintendo. "It's astonishing to think that with six million we're not able to fulfil the initial demand," Fischer said.
Fischer went on to speak of the console’s own recruitment abilities, a concept I can attest to. At a recent party where the Wii was pulled out, two friends caved to the awesome power of Wii Sports and decided they “had to have” a Wii of their own.
I don’t believe they’ve managed to find one yet, so I’m betting news of the increased production plans will be more than welcomed by consumers itching to get a Wii bit of fun for themselves.
