It’s been one Crazy, with a capital C, year for Nintendo. Even after one whole year, that little white box from Nintendo is still flying off shelves faster than free alcohol at an AA meeting.
Just like the rest of the world, Nintendo hadn’t expected this type of demand in their wildest dreams, and who can blame them? The GameCube sold so poorly that there were people actually predicting that Nintendo might pack it in and call it quits on the hardware side of video games. Well I think it’s pretty safe to say that Nintendo is having the last laugh right now.
After realizing that demand for the Wii wasn’t going to die any time soon, Nintendo finally decided to triple their production workforce. Due to their delay in upping production, it has been estimated that Nintendo will miss out on 1 billion dollars in sales this year. Ouch.
That’s why Nintendo making a very costly mistake and waiting until right before Christmas to triple production workforce is #85 on the Sarcastic Gamer Top 100 Gaming Moments of 2007.
