Will Wii Be The Savior Of The Games Industry?

...stry.

The holiday season in both Japan and the United States are a fine example of this. The demand for Nintendo Wii has far exceeded the supply which makes the chance of you being able to buy one highly unlikely.

Proof of this was clear when even twelve months after the release of the console onto the market, those trying to get their hands on one were still queuing at every outlet which had stocked the item. Although, the popularity of this device has cooled off a bit of late, this is only to be expected after one year of it being around.

For this reason and in spite of the arguments against the Wii, it has still captured a key share of the market. However, to...more
