Leading US games retailer also says it expects a PS3 price cut in the next year
Following the publication of its latest financial statement, GameStop COO Dan DeMatteo has stated in an investor call that he anticipates supplies of Nintendo’s Wii “won’t meet demand for the next two quarters at least”.
He did, however, say that supplies of both Microsoft’s Xbox 360, which Microsoft recently said were set to pick up in time for the arrival of Rockstar’s GTAIV next month, were already improving. The same was said of Nintendo’s in-demand DS. He added that PS3 stock was in good supply.
Of pricing for the year ahead, CFO David Carlson stated that the company was assuming a $50 price cut on PS3, and possibly Xbox 360, as well as a possible smaller cut on PS2. It did not, however, foresee any price movement on Wii or PSP.

Wii shortage?
I don't really get the whole Wii shortage thing, why don't they give them some of the uk stock? We haven't been out of stock in the UK since before xmas?
Re: Wii shortage?
Working for a small independant games shop i am still able to order Wii's. Admittidly, only 2/3 at a time. Dave was right to say "...haven't been out of stock since before xmas". Roll on next xmas, i might be able to sell them for £500 bundled again!
STFU!
Why don't you just keep your mouth shut, you'll be moaning you've got none next and that America have all the UKs stock.
Knobbers.
