Wii Shortages Still Expected this Holiday

Major Retailer Anticipating Problems

Couldn’t find a Wii in 2006?  How about 2007?  Sadly, it appears your bad luck will continue right through the Holiday season of this year.

A GameDaily interview with GameStop CEO Dan DeMatteo has revealed the major retailer isn’t holding out much hope for plentiful Wii supplies this go-around.  Evidently, demand for the console is higher than ever:

I’ve never seen this type of demand before. I know they’re making more, but we’re still short like everybody else. I think we’ll have a continued shortage this Christmas.

One should also expect similar expectations from other major retailers across the U.S. and perhaps around the world.  It will be tough–get those pre-orders in now.
