Taiwanese companies outsourced for Nintendo Wii supply |
Ó
Steadily outselling any next-gen console yet drastically short of supply, the Wii is now reinforced with hardware aid from one of Asia's major hardware manufacturing countries, Taiwan. With the infrastructure, resources and experience in place for dedicated hardware supply, there's hope that Nintendo could raise their monthly output further to achieve their Q4 goal by late December.
Wistron will soon be joining the likes of Foxconn Technology - a regionally well-known motherboard manufacturer - of the Hon Hai Group to assemble Wii machines, while SunPlus Technologies will continue to share supplies of controller chips for the Wii, together with pre-market supplier PixArt Imaging, Inc.
The first generation of the Nintendo Wii console will be those tendered with the original PixArt controller chip, while SunPlus, together with other potential suppliers, will provide an after-market supply of replacement controller chips which will be prevalent in the reportedly "updated" version of the console. The first batch of these replacement chips are expected to ship this quarter, and local industry analysts point out that the shipment may win SunPlus original manufacturing orders for the Nintendo Wii.
Lite-On was reportedly close to the heels of the two companies, planning to enter Nintendo's orders for power supplies for the new batch of game consoles. If successful, the company well known for their optical drive manufacturing portfolio will diversify Nintendo's options for the console's power supplies, a product line once controlled solely by PS2 and Xbox 360 power supply manufacturer Delta Electronics.

Why...why do people keep buying the Wii, its a novelty! Most people who buy the wii play it for 2 weeks straight and then get bored of its same repetative behavior and never play it again. There aren't even any good games to look forward to for the console, at least for the 360 and PS3 we always have big franchises making games for us. But Nintendo has always kept itself to the kiddy side of the gaming market for an unknown reason.
The Wii needs to be more serious or Nintendo will fail software wise. The Console could sell 100 million but without new and good games (Not all the wii stuff like wiisports ect ect) it will not sell software. This is why nobody makes games for the wii because unless there really good they just won't sell. The software to hardware ratio (excluding wiisports which comes packaged) is dreadful.
You've heard from most of the people who bought the Wii that they only play it for 2 weeks? That means you've surveyed at least 4.5 million people. Somehow I think you're full of *****.
Also, open your eyes: Wii games ARE selling, and so is the system. It's certainly killing the PS3, that's for damn sure.
Ok name some good games the wii has going for it and I will name about another 3 franchises for every game you name.
Its not a big survery you idiot, when people so surveys they get a percentage of wii owners in my case the number of people was 10 and from that I saw that 7/10 people didnt enjoy their wii.
