This November the Wii will celebrate its second birthday. This milestone might make you think it'll be possible to get one this holiday season without getting in a knife fight with a soccer mom. You would be wrong, sir/madam.

In an interview with GameDaily, new GameStop CEO Dan DeMatteo had this to say about the supply of Wii consoles: "I've never seen this type of demand before. I know they're making more, but we're still short like everybody else. I think we'll have a continued shortage this Christmas."

Granted, he also says later in the interview that "the network won't be in place to do digital distribution of full games until 2020 to 2025", which I don't think is correct. Probably right about the Wii supply, though. If you have an interest in getting your hands on one for the holidays, it'd be a good idea to start looking around now.
