Your response to Reggie’s statement does not make any sense. The general public is indeed naïve when it comes to issues such as demand and supply because they believe it’s easy to ramp up production just like THAT. My guess is that, if Nintendo were to increase capital that enables them to ramp up supply more quickly then they are now (before the large demand, they were working on a gradual supply increase curve), they would spend significant amounts of money which would be wasted if sales ever did start to slack off. I doubt the general public thinks beyond a simple ‘increase of supply - profit, therefore, Nintendo is shooting themselves in the foot and watching themselves bleed by not increasing supply.’ I doubt that’s the case, or else everyone and his brother would have a Wii by now.

In any case, your argument seems to be that demand for the Wii will outstrip supply because it’s a greatly desired item at the moment. What’s the conflict between that and the issue not being a lack of production? Reggie’s argument supports what you said.
