Nintendo's Fils-Aime: We Will Fall Short with Wii Fit

Nintendo of America president, Reggie Fils-Aime, has cut to the chase regarding supplies of Wii Fit. Rather than mess around with euphemism and CorproBS, Fils-Aime has stated to Forbes:



Yes, we know this is just a way to get consumers to buy Wii Fit now rather than wait, but you've got to give it to Reggie: it's a straight-out admission that supply won't meet demand. We don't get many straight-out admissions from any of the platform holders.

Reggie also made a rare noise about Nintendo's approach (or lack of it) to community. While not giving away much, he suggests that the company has something big up its sleeve.

"Nintendo has always had a vision on community", Reggie said to Forbes news agency. "The issue is that we define community differently than our competitors. ... Our consumers do want a sense of community, and we're going to deliver that but in a way that is unique to Nintendo."

Fancy saying that as the Xbox's NXE arrives tomorrow (or today), and Sony continues to make Homely noises.
