Quote:4. More hardware plants, so they could better keep up with DS and Wii demand. Supplies could be higher while still maintaining the "it is hard to find" thing... Nintendo is too conservative here.
The Wii has sold 6.5 million units in about five months, which means they've shipped more units than any console EVER. It's not conservative, it's simply not being able to keep up with rampant WORLDWIDE damand. And that doesn't even take into account that opening new fabrication plants is not cheap at all and you'd still have to have a large supply of parts, which isn't easy when you're already buying up millions of parts.
Quote:5. Actually try to succeed in Europe and take the region seriously. They didn't even win with the NES there as far as I know!
2 million Wiis sold in Europe since launch. It's almost caught up with the Xbox360.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
