If like many thousands of others in the US, you are still struggling to find a copy of Wii Fit on store shelves anywhere in your region, one analyst believes that it isn't because Nintendo couldn't ship enough to the country, but instead because they decided not to.
Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter reckons that a weak dollar and because Nintendo know that Americans will be just as fat a few months from now" when [it] will have more units available," means that it has nothing to worry about once supply evens out with demand.
"The shortage demonstrates one consequence of the weak dollar. We're seeing companies ignore their largest market simply because they can make a greater profit elsewhere," Pachter told the The LA Times.
Pachter estimated that just 500,000 copies of Wii Fit were available in America for launch, compared to 2 million or so in Europe.
