As the song goes, what a difference a day makes.

Yesterday, Reggie Fils-Amie said that Nintendo expected to ship 1 million Wii units to the United States by the end of the year.

From Reggie's statement:

"Despite spot shortages in some locations, well more than a million Wii systems will be available in the United States by the end of the year."

Twenty-four hours later, Nintendo says, "Uh. No."

According to GameDaily, Nintendo has retracted Reggie's million-Wii mark has been retracted and should be ignored.

Please move along. Nothing to see here.

While I'm wondering if Sony-itits is contageous among console makers, I'd rather think that Nintendo is having a hard time pumping out the Wiis as fast as consumers are scooping them up.

Which I think is a good thing.

What can I say? I like the system.

I'm a Wii-diot.
