Digitimes is reporting that Nintendo has placed extra orders with InvenSense, its component supplier, in preparation for a jump in Wii sales.
Nintendo also asked for an increase in their gyroscope shipments in preparation for the release of the Wii Motion Plus controller add-on, Digitimes reports. Nintendo pre-paid for part of the order as they prepare for strong growth, according to Digitimes sources.

Japanese sales are down this year, but not by nearly enough to counter the increase elsewhere. Wii US 2008 sales will be greater than what Wii US 2007 and Wii Japan 2007 were added together.[ Veteran ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 155 ]bids

RE: Nintendo Amps Up Wii Part OrdersInteresting, Nintendo are traditionally a very conservative company so I would have thought they might have been reviewing their recent upping of production (to 2.4m per month) in light of the recession and fairly middling Japan sales.
Instead they're increasing it. Maybe they'll have something going on in 3-4 months.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 291 ]bids

I don't disagree, however as a "conservative" company I'm pointing out it says a lot about Nintendo's expectations for this year, which you would view as "conservative" that they are *upping* production, given the recession that is likely, strength of the yen etc.
When DS sales went down, Nintendo reacted, even though DS sales were still "good". I believe they'll introduce some more SKU's into the Japanese market this year, new colours etc. to boost Wii sales in Japan.
