boxhunter said: They obviously trying to get more sales.

Not too happy about why they saying this

I reckon they're saying it because the economic situation in the US is kinda shaky right now, what with a couple of banks shutting down and everything. They're probably drumming up business now because there might not be the money at Christmas...

no the demand for the wii is so high in america that they are having trouble keeping up with the demands for new ones
