Nintendo looking to increase Wii-production
We’ve heard the talk, and now it seems Nintendo is getting down to business when it comes to Wii supplies. At the moment, Foxconn Precision Components is the only manufacturer contracted by Nintendo to produce Wii consoles. While Foxconn has been able to produce about six to seven million Wii units by the end of March, that number is clearly not enough to satisfy worldwide demand for the product. The Wii consistently remains out of stock in stores, managing to sell out shortly after each shipment.
PS3 manufacturer Asustek Computer, Xbox 360 manufacturer Wistron, Compal Electronics, and Inventec are all in the running for a manufacturing contract with Nintendo. Hopefully with twice as many companies producing the Wii, it may become a little easier for everyone to find the console they want.

I hope they do do this deal fast, I am saving up for a Wii and I want one by the beginning of next school year, or sometime over the summer.
