A year later and people are still in love with the Wii. Its almost beyond love. The Wii has an almost addiction-like quality at this point, with men and women of all ages freely willing to sell their organs for just the chance to buy a Wii. The Nintendo gods have noticed the obsession, and promise to ramp up production. Holla at some capitalism!
“The good news is we’re flowing more and more product into the marketplace, and the amount of Wii hardware that will be in North American stores will be unprecedented—substantially more than the launch and substantially more than has been seen to date,” Fils-Aime assured. “The bad news is that given the level of demand, and given the fact that the more we put in, the more we sell, it is still going to be difficult to get hands on the Wii.”
So when they say they will have substantially more, what they mean is they will have one. Maybe. Instead of going into the store and not seeing one at all, you might see where a Wii was. And if you ask the clerk if they have Wiis, he might say they had some last week, instead of saying that they had some last month. If you go to some stores, he might say he has one Wii, and then point to his pants. Ha! Over a year old and Wii jokes are still funny.
