Nintendo of America president, Reggie Fils-Aime, has revealed to Forbes that the platform holder is confident of meeting Holiday season demand for the Wii, but warns of shortages for Wii Fit.
“With Wii hardware, I think we’ve got a good shot at meeting demand during the holidays,” said Fils-Aime. “With ‘Wii Fit,’ I know we’ll fall short. That’s a product we have consumers lining up for each morning outside of our Nintendo World store [in New York City].”
803,000 Wii units were sold to consumers in the US during October and the figure is expected to increase significantly in November – the Wii sold 981,000 units in November 2007 but was constrained by stock shortages.
This year Wii Fit has already sold 2.8 million units in the US and should move comfortably past 3 million once November sales are counted.
