Nintendo Considering Pulling Wii Advertising
Published by Jeremy on December 7th, 2007With such a high demand, and with no chance of meeting it… Nintendo is contemplating on pulling advertising for their Wii console.
GamesIndustry.biz stated that a spokesman has said, demand for the system “has been unprecedented and higher than Nintendo could ever have anticipated.”
Recently Nintendo has dismissed rumors that they orchestrating the shortages… which I never really bought into anyway.
Even though I never really bought into the whole “Nintendo is orchestrating the shortages business… Piers Harding-Rolls, the Screen Digest analyst, does make a good point, he’s said… “The issue of supply management has to be questioned, not least because 2008 is going to be the crunch year for the Wii. It’s then that we’ll discover whether it’s a fad or something with legs.”
So what do you guys think about the idea of Nintendo pulling the Holiday advertising? You think their intentionally causing the shortages?

As was said in the article about “Nintendo Losing Money from Non-Existent Wiis” there is a crazy high demand for the wii and they are losing some money from people not being able to get one. Really, thinking long and short term, I don’t think causing a shortage would be beneficial in any way whatsoever, so I doubt they are intentionally causing a shortage. However, having people wanting the wii, and having such a high demand can’t ever be a bad thing and pulling Holiday ads would in a small way lessen the demand. The demand is only bad for the people who want a wii, not for nintendo. Nintendo would never do anything that would decrease demand or possibly lose money so they wouldn’t cause a shortage, or stop holiday ads.
