Nintendo boss man Reggie Fils-Aime sat down with the San Jose Mercury News crack team of video podcasters to talk about everything Wii and Nintendo DS. For those who are going without a Wii—or are concerned parents who shudder at the thought of camping out at Toys R Us this holiday—Reggie says Wii supply this season will be "unprecedented." He promises that stock for the console will be "substantially more than the launch, substantially more than has been seen to date." That's the good news, says Fils-Aime.

The bad news, which we knew was coming, is that according to Reggie, "given the level of demand and given the fact that the more we put in, the more we sell, it is still going to be difficult to get your hands on the Wii."

Despite sitting atop the NPD sales throne, Reggie humbly tells the San Jose Mercury news that Nintendo "We're not taking our current success lightly." But that doesn't mean he won't comment on the competition from Microsoft and Sony.

On the console front he sounded pretty confident in the Wii's ongoing success, saying "In terms of our competitors, what we continue to see is that 360 and PS3 essentially trade share as they alternate on price reductions. But, really none of that is impacting our business."

But what about the PSP, Reggie? Asked about the implications of the new PSP model shipping, Reggie gave his opinion on the matter, saying "I actually put a unit in my hands yesterday. I think most consumers will be hard pressed to tell the difference. I find myself fortunate that they continue to struggle a little bit."

Overconfident or reasonable evaluation? Who out there is making the transition to the "Slim"?
