Wii Orders Slump; Manufacturer Halts Production

It seemed like there was a time when Nintendo couldn’t print money – excuse us – couldn’t manufacture Wiis fast enough. Now, however, it looks like it doesn’t matter how fast they manufacture the little white system.

Industrygamers.com is reporting that Mitsumi – the Japanese electronics manufacturer for Nintendo’s console – is expecting a 30 percent decline in Wii orders for the second half of next year.

While this kind of production halt happens all the time with electronics products, it could be a sign of larger trend for the Wii. While the recent price drop has helped drive sales for the system, general enthusiasm for the Wii has declined, and the systems 2010 lineup looks pretty bleak.

What do you think? Has the Wii already run its course, or is this production slump nothing to worry about?
