Really, was that necessary. I won't defend the shovelware or the good titles anymore, I've said enough, but the Wii is getting a large amount of exclusive titles and more devs/publishers are jumping ship to produce for the console, so the amount of kiddie crap and bad ports will be overshadowed in the near future. Let's hope the 3rd party stuff can be as successful as the Big N titles.
Yes, "...supply always appears to be low while demand never diminishes..." Key word there is APPEARS! Nintendo are a big bunch of liars when it comes to their excuses about supply issues. They purposely and artificially keep supply low to inflate demand and not have to cut the price, while they always have THOUSANDS just sitting in warehouses waiting to trickle out. Maybe good marketing-wise for them, but it's wholly dishonest to apparently not care about the consumers that much.
I'm just glad nobody here is spouting the whole "illegal flash carts are sending Nintendo down the drain! Wake up sheeple!!1!". Personally? Maybe it's the whole "Planet-wide recession" thing that's going on. People are tightening their belts.
