Nintendo's George Harrison says Wiis will probably be short on the ground this Christmas. Maybe. Then again, maybe not. Manufacturing trade site EMSNow are reporting that Nintendo is looking at increasing the number of suppliers of Wii components, and have been in talks with Taiwanese companies Sunplus Technology and Wistron Corp. Lite-On, who manufacture power supplies for the PS2 and 360, are also reported as courting Nintendo, looking for a slice of that sweet Wii pie. While no specific mention is made concerning increased production of the console, unless they've lost manufacturers or I'm missing something, more manufacturers should mean more things manufactured. Right? RIGHT?
