Nintendo advise doing DSi Christmas shopping now

David Yarnton, General Manager of Nintendo UK, has spoken with Times Online ahead of the April release of the new Nintendo DSi. During the interview, Yarnton was asked if he thought it would be a good idea for people buy the DSi a whole 8 months early for Christmas, in case stocks ended up low further down the line.

Yarnton respond with this:

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.

I think I will wait till Christmas Eve like I do every other year.
