Is Nintendo creating a false sense of demand by controlling the Supply of Wii Console gaming systems?
Frequency asked:
I would like to see why a console system costing around $275 at your local Wall-Mart, Target, K-Mart is so hard to find in highly populated suburban markets? This hard to find system in dense populated markets is driving people to use E-bay and other outlets to purchase consolidated system packs where-by sales are forcing the purchase of unwanted games to guarantee a specific level of profit for game manufactures. What is going on and why?

Wii has been sold out since release. The only reason you can’t find one is because so many people are waiting to buy them.

Nintendo would make more money off of games if more people had the system. That’s why you can find the games at stores but not the systems. Only so many Wii’s can be made and shipped at a time and the demand is far greater than the supply. I don’t think anything fishy is going on.
