Nintendo has refuted ongoing speculation that the company is limiting the supply of global Wii units in an effort to fake demand.

"We strongly reject and resent the accusation that we are 'PR-ing' stock shortages," a company official told Max Console on Monday.

"We are doing all we can to ensure that the unprecedented demand for Wii can be met as far as possible in the run up to Christmas."

Nintendo says it is working at maximum capacity in producing 1.8 million Wii units per month.

Since first launching in November of last year, the Wii has seen widespread shortages at retail and regularly commands US$100-200 above its MSRP of $250 when sold online.
