Oh bull. Nintendo could be doing much better. Fact is false demand moves units.Artificial shortage? Yeah, I'm... I'm sure. With this kind of demand, they could pretty much double output and still sell out. But no, I'm sure they're just faking.
As for new games, I'm talking about the future here. It takes time to realize there's a great opportunity, conceptualize a game and develop it. I'm not saying it's absolutely undeniably going to happen, but it would be pretty amazing if devs ignored such a massive market...
Sure does. The Wii is cheap and relatively quick to produce. They shouldn't need to divert supply, they could be doing a lot better.I heard that nintendo just had to divert a bunch of units from japan in a vain attempt to reach demand in the US. That sound like they're holding back?

Considering the Wii barely takes more than the Gamecube to produce, you can't justify telling me that they can't produce more than they are right now. Personally I think that holding back demand is a BS (yet effective) marketing technique.
All consoles have some crappy games. Wii has more than one trump card this holiday season. GHIII, Mario Galaxy, and Brawl will all be huge sellers.
Believe it or not, you do not make up a majority of video game purchasers. Additionally, Guitar Hero III for Wii could potentially have downloadable content (Wi-Fi is confirmed), but lets be honest, a lot of the more casual crowd doesn't really care. The Wii version will be $10 cheaper, has rumble, and a speaker (the latter two don't matter much), so it's practically a recipe for success.Whats GHIII ? the only thing I can think of is Guitar hero 3, and the wii wouldn't be the system I bought it for because of extra songs available through xbox live.

It can be if it's the cheaper version on the season's hottest system. ;\ The Wii can definately support downloadable content, but, I agree, Nintendo's network probably isn't ready for it yet.
