Captain Obvious: Fils-Aime says there will be a Wii Fit shortage this holiday

Captain Obvious: Fils-Aime says there will be a Wii Fit shortage this holiday photo
     Reggie Fils-Aime

In a recent shocking announcement, Reggie Fils-Aime admitted that while the Wii itself should finally be available this holiday season (now that everyone has already paid god knows how much to get one on Ebay), the Wii Fit would likely be difficult to find. You don't say!

Fils-Aime also commented third party developers "don't fully understand" the potential of the Wii, which I guess is supposed to explain the reason why I don't have that many third party titles for the system that I love to play. Still, kind of condescending, isn't it? Somehow I doubt that understanding the Wii's "potential" has to much to do with it. I'm sure it'd be hard for Reg to grasp that some developers just aren't interested in waggle.

By the way, I've got a Wii Fit in my hall closet collecting dust, if anyone is in desperate need of one.

Not unless they come to me because I am willing to sell my. Cmon Nintendo and produce a game that requires the Wii Fit.

I've been looking since launch and still have not seen one in stores to this day. If I had one maybe I'd turn it on once in a while. But till then, my Wii sits in standby charging my PS3 controllers.
