Ó

a retraction...Nintendo of America has alerted that its statement that read "Despite spot shortages in some locations, well more than a million Wii systems will be available in the United States by the end of the year" has been retracted and should be ignored. Oh well, so much for that a million Wiis by January.

So what does this mean? Well, Nintendo did not say why the statement should be disregarded, but a lot assume that Nintendo is experiencing more difficulty manufacturing the Wii than they are letting people know about. That or they would rather divert shipments to locations other than the US.

Perhaps they're satisfied with the recent NPD figures already? Maybe they'll only be able to ship close to a million but not well over a million? Well, Reggie did say that they like to stay humble. Perhaps they felt that "more than a million" is too arrogant and boastful.

Well, for now, all we can do is speculate, and wait for further word from Nintendo. We'll update you as soon as news breaks.

I been in line twice now and been the cut off guy both times. The way things seem to be going I won't get 1 till 2007 or I will have to shell 100+ on ebay for 1.

SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I alos feel a little betrayed by Nintendo because of their statment that their would have been enough to go around. Else I would have pre ordered or bought some scalpers tickets in the launch lines.
