Do people still believe that this 'shortage' wasn't orchestrated then?

I think the most likely scenario is that they had a shortage originally and noticed that it was causing a frenzy in the UK, so they decided to roll with it and deliberately control the volume of systems being shipped to maintain that frenzy. It's a textbook marketing ploy, pulled off to a rather startling degree of success.Does it matter if it was?
All console manufacturers do it if they are in a position of demand strong enough because it generates a lot more sales. You manage to entice more people because of all the people running around proclaiming how you can't get them, makes others think 'wow, that must be good, I want one'.

Even if they are reduced, you're still better off buying in the high street, no postage costs and easier to return.
Wrong answer, lol.
Why?
Correct.He meant exclusives and he meant this year.
Correct.
I wouldn't even attempt to argue that there aren't enough decent games to warrant owning a Wii now, but for the first 6 to 9 months the games catalogue was pretty barren.

Even so, for me it's still the Nintendo player. I wouldn't buy it for anything else right now other than SMG. Their third party support is worrying and if that changes then that is what will get me to buy one.
