While the rest of the world is in the middle of a recession, Nintendo's got more money coming in than ever, and it appears that they don't see that changing any time soon. According to Digitimes, Nintendo has increased the quantity of an order with a company called
Invensense, who makes the rate gyroscope used in the upcoming
MotionPlus peripheral.
This suggests that Nintendo is increasing their estimate of MotionPlus demand -- and probably increasing their expectations for the sales of
Wii Sports Resort. Either that or they are ramping up production of MotionPlus according to an existing plan. Something (let's call it "history") tells us that even their augmented production won't keep up with demand for 2009's big-big-big Nintendo product.
