Nintendo Promises Better Wii Supply This Holiday Season

How much of a big deal is the annual holiday Wii shortage at this point? Why, so big that Reuters is running a story on the fact that Nintendo today made a statement promising a better Wii supply in the North American market this holiday season.

There will be a "significant increase from 2007's levels" in North American supplies of the Wii between October and December, the company said in a statement on Thursday. Supplies of the Nintendo DS handheld device will also be available "in greater abundance" the company said.

"While there's no way to gauge total demand for our hardware systems, we're trying to satisfy as many of those players as possible," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of sales and marketing.

That's right: it is now newsworthy to declare that there's probably a pretty decent chance that you maybe might will be able to buy a Wii and/or DS during this year's holiday shopping season.
