Nintendo contradicts itself over DS stock

via Computer and Video Games


The NOA boss with plenty to say, Reggie Fils-Aime, has today admitted that the stunning sales figures of the DS is leading to retailers' concern over supply.

This somewhat contradicts comments reported yesterday from the Regginator, who stated that despite the phenomenal sales, "any consumer that wants a Nintendo DS this holiday season will have one."

But Reggie has now said: "The DS continues to perform exceptionally well, with some retailers voicing concerns about DS inventory going into the holiday," Reuters reports today.

So which is it? Are we going to start seeing people selling kidneys to play for £300 DS auctions on eBay, or are we safe to assume sufficient stock throughout Christmas and into the New Year?
