I just skimmed this interesting article that states that even though Nintendo plans to ship 1.8 million new Wii consoles in November and December of 2007, that won’t be enough to satisfy the more than 1.8 million people who want to buy them.

The article talks about shortages of Wii consoles around the world.

I’m a witness — it’s amazing to me that Amazon Canada continually shows no Wii consoles in stock, and doesn’t know when they’ll be back in stock.

But it makes sense.

Everybody is lovin’ the Wii.

Even the elderly are getting into playing Wii, and stroke patients are being rehabilitated with Wii playing.

I’m not a gamer, but I like playing Wii with my family.

It resurrects family time, and brings us all in the same room at times — like last night, when I wasn’t bemoaning the fact that all four of us were in separate rooms on separate screens.

Okay, so my husband was still on his laptop and not enjoying a round of bowling — but he usually does, even more so than I do with the kids.
