Wii Shortage: Manufactured or Real?

Nintendo’s popular Wii system was the “it” electronic gift last year during the holiday season.  This year, it’s just as hard to find a Wii and even pricier to buy if you can find one.  Nintendo responds to the Wii shortage by saying it takes 5 months to increase its monthly production rate which is currently at 1.8 million per month to meet demand across the globe.  That means, the shortage is likely to continue through the holiday season again this year.
