With Microsoft making statements about a stellar 2008 for the Xbox 360, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has claimed that the Wii may face more stock shortages.

Speaking to news agency Reuters, Reggie said that demand for the Wii is likely to continue into the new year.

“The level of demand we are facing complicates all of our future business planning. All of that becomes a much tougher exercise until we have supply and demand curves that intersect,” he stated.

“We at Nintendo America are focused on getting to the point when any consumer can walk into any of our retailers and find a Wii. Then we can plan, on an ongoing basis, the rest of the business.”

    I can definitely see the shortage lasting at least another year. Wii Fit near the start of the year is bound to be extremely popular, Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be a game of a generation, Mario Kart Wii will be amazing. All this plus the previous library (Galaxy) and any E3 surprises (returning franchise, Animal Crossing, other returning franchise and Pikmin. How can anyone, gamer or not, miss this lineup? Me, I got a Wii last January on eBay because I had to.
