Wii selling well, but not at record rate (AP)

I'm sorry... Let's do it again! I know I blogged about this subject before, but it is still really bothering me. Most people you ask who who are low-medium-hardcore gamers will tell you that Nintendo's Wii does not hold a candle to the other games systems (XBox, PS3,etc.) game selection, graphics, and game play... and yet they are selling like hot cakes! I hope everyone see's as I stated before in one of my other blogs, that Nintendo is just fabricated a demand for the system by limiting supply. Quite brilliantly I might add. This article even addresses that question, and Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime just said, "A shortage benefits no one," he said. "We're disappointed. This was all about how we didn't accurately estimate demand. We need to be more bullish about the potential for the Wii." What a bunch of crap! The truth is, this system is way cheaper than the rest and coupled with this fact that Nintendo has created a fabricated demand for it, it has worked out real well for them.
