Why is the Wii system still in such short supplies? Well, it isn't, if you're living in Europe. If you thought that Wiis were in short supply in America because Nintendo, or rather their factories just couldn't keep up with demand, here's a new theory.

A game industry analyst, according to a news report, is actually saying that Nintendo doesn't want to sell Wiis in the USA, because of the weak dollar. They claim that they make more money by the euro.

European sales have started to hit a slump, and also according to this report, because of this, Nintendo should soon start raking out more Wii systems in the USA soon.

If the weak dollar was a problem, why didn't Nintendo just up the price in the USA?

Well these days the game library is getting much better- and since games have been known to boost console sales, that should help get Wii out of the slump. I don't see why I'd want a more expensive system just because of the weak dollar. Still , the article is merely a theory though.

I don't know if I believe this theory. i truly think that they can't keep up with the demand. Look at how many people want this this and it is priced so low.

Local Toys'R Us stores are now accepting preorders for the Wii as new shipments are coming in this week.
