"Demand is much greater than we anticipated. A year ago no one thought [Only registered users can see links. ]," says Harrison. So far, the Wii sales have been outstanding, thanks to the wholesome appeal it has, and thus making Nintendo successful in its aim to reach out to a wider demographics of casual gamers.

On the competition existing among the three next-gen consoles and their respective upgrades, Harrison remarks, "We're starting to see in the performance of the PS3 and Xbox 360 that that's not necessarily motivating the market the way it used to. So we're going to start work on future technology only when we believe it's necessary."

He also revealed that they are currently upping the numbers of Wii units [Only registered users can see links. ] in their Chinese factories in order to better cater to the soaring demand for the console.

Honestly at the rate they are going I think they just might do it. That and if they keep productions levels down to make people want it more and more. Seriously I have a conspiracy theory..they say they are making them as fast as they can, but they really have them and are only releasing a few 100,000 at a time. The less you have something that you want...the more you want it.

Either way I am glad for Ninty they made a come back....for now

Yup, thats my thoughts exactly, they have them, but, are only releasing a few at a time, well, i think so anyway lol
And i also do think that they could very well sell that many by then. They're doing great at the moment and its still in high demand, well least round here it is anyway
