Is finding a Wii possible?

Think you'll find a shiny, white gaming box under the Christmas tree this year? Think again. As many have feared, supplies of Nintendo Corp.'s highly-prized Wii console are not expected to meet the demands of holiday shoppers.

According to Nintendo of America VP of Marketing George Harrison, don't blame the company for not trying. "It takes about five months for us to increase the actual monthly rate of production," he said in an interview with industry website next-gen.biz. "We're at a rate now worldwide of about 1.8 million Wiis produced every month, and that's going to sustain itself until we get on top of this."
