Pre-Orders Advised for Nintendo DSi

Ahead of the much anticipated release of the Nintendo DSi console this Friday, UK retailers have issued a warning that consumers should pre-order the console to risk behind left disappointed when stocks run out, as is expected to happen.
The new DSi console has a retail price of £149 and is set to be a big hit with consumers. Previous launches of major consoles including the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft’s XBOX 360 as well as the Playstation 3, have left consumers waiting months for more stock as they sold out on the launch day.
Don McCabe, from UK retailer Chips warned:
“The supply is tight, there’s just not a great amount of stock out there. Basically everything that we’re getting in is already pre-sold before it hits the shop floor. It’s a 100 per cent sell out for us.”
Don’t gamble on stocks being available – pre-order your console today!
DSi Stock Shortages Expected

Nintendo are warning that customers wanting to purchase the new DSi consoles in time for Christmas should do so NOW – despite it being 9 months early and the console not even released in the United States and Europe until April 3rd.
Nintendo’s General Manager in the UK David Yanton issued the warning earlier this week in an interview with Times Online.
“I always advise people to buy early. One of the things that people don’t seem to understand is that factories are producing constantly; they don’t peak and trough. So we’re producing product all the time, but then everyone wants it all at the one end of the year. It’s just so hard to try and keep up.”
While the claim could be viewed as a sales tactic from Nintendo, it is a claim not made without supporting evidence as in recent years, newly released consoles such as Microsoft’s XBOX 360 and the Nintendo Wii have seen such a rush on their products that they have been sold out and consumers have been forced either to pay inflated eBay prices for consoles or to go without.
