Wii Shortages Continue, Nintendo Rep Says

Nintendo VP of Marketing and Corporate Affairs Perrin Kaplan revealed that the shortage of Nintendo's Wii could last months. The company has worked hard to increase production, but claims that demand is still not met and it will be some time before they can catch up.

She added, "We are at absolute maximum production and doing everything we can. The number of units that we have been able to produce has far exceeded our hardware production in the past and the production levels of a lot of our competitors but demand continues to be really high. People are being really diligent about working with retailers to locate one but we are cognisent of the fact that a lot of fans are not able to get their hands on one yet. We are asking them to be patient and to know that we are working on this as fast as we can."
