I wish someone could debunk this shortage myth. I of course wanted one of these consoles (for my son Sean) at Christmas time and never could get one so I found one on Craigslist(March) for just about the retail price. What you have is a console without any games. The whole point of it is the unique controller and it does come with WII sports (which I became addicted the bowling game to the point I threw out my shoulder) but very little else.

So Nintendo gets to hype it for yet another Christmas season. What a crock. This is marketing at it's worst.........I mean best :)
