Newsflash – The US is currently experiencing a shortage of Nintendo Wii consoles. Okay, so that’s really nothing new, and neither is the fact that Nintendo is still sincerely upset about that fact.

Currently Nintendo is producing around 1.8 million units per month, of which I believe the US hulks more than 40%. In order to compensate for the continuous high demand, they are planning on increasing that number to 2.4 million. Let see how much longer will the Wii consoles stay on the shelves - may be extra 30 minutes?

Personally I think 100 reasons is a little exaggerated. I actually read all and they have some good points especially the 52. Fat guys love it - this matches the post we did on Wii Fit Hopes for Super Sized American.

Here’s the Top 3:

1. The name isn’t as bad as you think. Really. Well, it’ll grow on you.
2. Innovative controls. The Wii-mote and Nunchuk that you use to play Wii games with make for a completely different kind of gaming. You wave, point, swipe and swing to play. It’s only as good as the games that make use of it though.
3. No graphical willy-waving. It’s a fair cop: Wii isn’t as powerful as PS3 or Xbox 360. But that means developers could and should be focusing on gameplay. And as a bonus, it means we don’t have to read endless game reviews dribbling on about textures.

A year has passed since the Nintendo Wii first burst onto the scene, becoming the simultaneous joy and frustration for gamers around the world, as huge numbers were sold and even bigger numbers of frustrated parents and fans began a year-long struggle to obtain one of the elusive white boxes.

This cake is so pretty that I don’t want to eat it!
