Nintendo offers answers to Wii Fit shortage

We all knew that when Nintendo were about to release their Wii Fit we might have to queue up for a while to get your hands on one. However; we did not realize how popular it would actually be.

Now Nintendo have decided to issue a statement, strangely on MTV, explaining why the Wii Fit has not been available in stores.
