Nintendo Gears Up For Wii-Hungry Holiday Shoppers
Amazingly, nearly a year after the console's release, you'd still be hard-pressed to walk into a store and find yourself a Nintendo Wii waiting there to go home with you. To say that demand has been higher than Nintendo anticipated would be quite an understatement. Now, as we approach the system's second holiday season, the question is: Will the company get it right this time? Nintendo of America President and Chief Cheerleader Reggie Fils-Aime says it will, and that in the coming months you can expect to find "substantially more than the launch, substantially more than has been seen to date."
But, that doesn't necessarily mean there'll be stacks of Wii boxes sitting on store shelves come December. If a Wii is at the top of your kid's (or grandparent's) wishlist this season, Nintendo recommends planning ahead. Our advice to you is to call your local electronics stores, find out when shipments of the Wii are expected to arrive, and then try to be there in advance before every other desperate parent beats you to the punch.

About Time Nintendo Got it together again, this Console is very addictive, and to be able to download classic games is another great benefit, this is sure to be the hot item this christmas season.
