Wii Will Be In Short Supply Till 2009



wii.jpgWe may see demand outstripping supply of Nintendo’s phenomenally popular console until 2009, says IDC research analyst Billy Pidgeon. He also says that consumers may lose interest if the supply situation doesn’t improve. Referring to the NPD March hardware numbers in recent comments to Home Media Magazine, Pidgeon said:

Nintendo’s misjudgement of demand may turn out to cost them dearly in the long run. (From Gamasutra.)
