If you’re considering buying a Nintendo Wii this Christmas you’ll need to act fast, as Nintendo itself has admitted. Nintendo said that supply was very likely to exceed demand across the globe for their console as people seek to secure themselves a Wii for Christmas.

Reggie Fils-Aime, the Nintendo President for North America, mention in a recent interview with the LA Times that Nintendo increased production of the Wii for the holidays, but even with their increased production volumes, they still look likely to run out of consoles.

This is hard to imagine as the Japanese gaming giant is currently manufacturing 2.4 million Nintendo Wii consoles every month, which is an increase of 33% on last year’s production. However demand is still outstripping their ability to supply consoles.

Reggie also commented how the production figures for the Wii compared to the sales figures of the PlayStation 3 from Sony.

They will sell 10 million consoles worldwide this year. For us, that’s three months of production.

If you’re looking to buy a Nintendo Wii this year, you should move now as they’ll be in short supply.
