It's a mistake they made they made a year ago, and it could be a very hard one to fix.<br><br>The only thing I could think of that might be getting in the way is that now it's a success, manufacturers would want a better deal, and Nintendo would want the same one  Less profit on each console would probably dent overall profits more than slightly less people buying one because there's simply none there (waves fist).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ethan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 28th 2007 5:32AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo Wii and DS sales on Thanksgiving rampage -- trumps own GBA record]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/nintendo-wii-and-ds-sales-on-thanksgiving-rampage-trumps-own/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/nintendo-wii-and-ds-sales-on-thanksgiving-rampage-trumps-own/</guid><description><![CDATA[The PAL Wii are in extremely short supply sold out in UK & Ireland.

After two weeks of trying earlier this month, she told me about it and asked for help.  The only place to get one in Manhattan, unless you are lucky enough to be at a EB when a delivery comes in, is to wait on line at the Nintendo World store.  That's how I got my Wii a year ago, and that's how I got one for the boys this year.  <br><br>My point is that they are hard to get even in NYC. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike_NYC]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 28th 2007 8:58AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo Wii and DS sales on Thanksgiving rampage -- trumps own GBA record]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/nintendo-wii-and-ds-sales-on-thanksgiving-rampage-trumps-own/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/nintendo-wii-and-ds-sales-on-thanksgiving-rampage-trumps-own/</guid><description><![CDATA[where's the pic of them sayin' it prints money?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Yubastard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 28th 2007 6:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo Wii and DS sales on Thanksgiving rampage -- trumps own GBA record]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/nintendo-wii-and-ds-sales-on-thanksgiving-rampage-trumps-own/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/nintendo-wii-and-ds-sales-on-thanksgiving-rampage-trumps-own/</guid><description><![CDATA[lol]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[NineT9]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 28th 2007 6:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo Wii and DS sales on Thanksgiving rampage -- trumps own GBA record]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/nintendo-wii-and-ds-sales-on-thanksgiving-rampage-trumps-own/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/nintendo-wii-and-ds-sales-on-thanksgiving-rampage-trumps-own/</guid><description><![CDATA[quick math time  <br>653,000* $129 = "It PRINTS MONEY!~!~~!" 84237000<br>350,000* $249 = "OMG!@!@!@!

If a conservative guess is that the wii has sole 13 million at the end of November.  Adding their 1.8 million per month production numbers for the next 4 months plus whatever they seem to have held back for the holiday buying period, shouldn't the Wii's total sales be well over 20 million by the end of March?  Why are they saying such a low number?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rachub]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 28th 2007 11:07AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo Wii and DS sales on Thanksgiving rampage -- trumps own GBA record]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/nintendo-wii-and-ds-sales-on-thanksgiving-rampage-trumps-own/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/nintendo-wii-and-ds-sales-on-thanksgiving-rampage-trumps-own/</guid><description><![CDATA[DS owners should check out the M3 Lite or Cyclo Evolution.
