Either Nintendo has increased supply or demand has dropped, but either way Wiis are getting easier to come by in the motherland.
Since its release on Decemeber 2 of last year, Wiis have been perpetually sold out in Japan (and in every other region, for that matter). However, Akiba Blog, a major Japanese gaming blog, has observed that Wii consoles are starting to become more available than they have in previous months. Stores in Tokyo have been observed to have quite a bit more units in stock than they normally due. Is this a sign that Wii demand is waning a bit?
Possibly, but it could also have something to do with Nintendo increasing its Wii forecast by 2.5 million units. It had previously said it would only ship 14 million systems by the end of March; now it will try and hit 16.5 million. Maybe Japan is the first country to see the additional output?
