Companies making components for Wii getting rich

If you're in the parts industry, you're likely sleeping on a large mound of money and enjoying the company of the most expensive of entourages. You've probably got bedroom furniture made from dinosaur bones, you're so filthy rich. That is, according to Tech.co.uk, who are reporting that numerous manufacturers of components that make up the Wii and the Wiimote are seeing large profits from the console's popularity.

This has even caused these manufacturers to open dedicated teams within their ranks. Analog Devices, responsible for the accelerometer in the Wiimote, have dedicated some of their existing space to manufacturing this part for the Wii exclusively. Another company, STMicroelectronics, makes the corresponding sensor in the nunchuk and are in the process of dedicating space to producing that.
