Nintedo knows it has a money-making smash hit when they have people (mostly parents buying for Christmas) going out in snow storms and blizzards to buy the Wii this weekend. I live in one of the areas affected by the huge snow storm this weekend in the Eastern U.S. and around here we are expecting around a foot of snow, but the TV news station had interviews with people who had gone out in near-white-out conditions just to buy a Wii. It seems as though sales for the console will continue to be extremely healthy at least through the first half of 2008 and supply will most likely continue to remain tight.
