GameStop head honcho, Dan DeMatteo, has expressed this year impending Xmas Wii shortage.
BIZ: What are your thoughts on Wii, a console that’s still impossible to find after two years?
DD: 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.
BIZ: When do you think Wiis will be readily available at retail?
DD: I don’t see a near-term end in sight for Wii shortages, not unless they really ramp up supply. I think they’ve ramped it up 20 percent or so, but Nintendo is fairly cautious by nature. They ramped it up 20 and it’s still evaporating.
