Predicting strong demand, despite the global financial woes, Nintendo have upped their shipment order for the Wii Motion Plus peripheral.
The Wii Motion Plus peripheral will reportedly address many a Wii owners concerns with the motion sensitive Wii-mote controller.
Motion Plus plugs into the bottom of the Wii-Mote (where the Nunchuck also plugs in), adding a gyroscopic stabiliser to Wii gaming.
Well it seems that Nintendo believe they will be able to hype this up enough to get hoards of Wii owners to electronic shop counters around the world.
According to
digitimes.com citing “market sources”, Nintendo have placed extra orders for motion-plus components with supplier InvenSense, paying in advance for the larger shipment.
"To secure sufficient component supplies for its new product Wii Motion Plus, Nintendo has asked for increased gyroscpe (sic) shipments from InvenSense," said the sources.
So don’t fret too much if you feared a shortage, soon you will be able to waggle with the best of them,
