No sense driving demand that cannot be met

Demand for the Wii has reached such levels that shops are selling out in [Only registered users can see links. ], leaving parents stuck over what to get their children for Christmas.


A Nintendo spokesman told [Only registered users can see links. ]: " We have been running the campaign all year, but we want to take a responsible stance this Christmas and not fuel demand."


Nintendo has been facing criticism from some that it was artificially restricting supply of the popular console; rumours that the company has denied.


The Wii console, which is the first to incorporate full movement recognition into a games controller, has proved this season's must-have gift and prices on [Only registered users can see links. ] are already double those in the shops.

Will stopping ads really calm down sales that much?

I think everyone already knows what a Wii is, seeing how popular it is.

No it won't but I think it's funny they think it will help. Their marketing dept should be fired.

All i can say is, good

Seriously, been out of stock since September, now theres ads on tv, when they cant meet demand. Those who want one, will, but those who are convinced by the ads will be disappointed. I hope the same goes for DS Lite ads, idk how many people i get come in and mention the ad and want to know what it is and want one. But theys just as much outta stock

I think it's good as well just wondering why it took them this long to figure it out?
