Consumers who thought Christmas would be the perfect time to join in on the hottest craze in video game consoles could be disappointed, according to Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America. The supply for Wiis will remain tight for the holiday season, he said. Extremely high demand for the consoles has outstripped even Nintendo executives’ aggressive forecasts.

While Nintendo has striven to put more consoles on store shelves, it can’t guarantee it will be able to satisfy holiday demand, he said.
