"Nintendo has always had a vision on community," said Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime to Forbes' Chris Morris for his weekly column.

"The issue is that we define community differently than our competitors. ... Our consumers do want a sense of community, and we're going to deliver that--but in a way that is unique to Nintendo," he added.

Fils-Aime offered no further details on the community features, including a release date, but Morris projected that more will be known at E3 2009.

The executive also commented on the state of the Wii, which was previously expected to have a third straight sold-out holiday season. "With Wii hardware, I think we've got a good shot at meeting demand during the holidays," he commented.

The Wii had its production ramped up following the 2007 holiday. This year, a 50% increase in Wii supply is anticipated, and Nintendo already met its promise of a 33% bump earlier this year.

Wii Fit, on the other hand, may be the sellout phenomenon this year. "With Wii Fit, I know we'll fall short. That's a product we have consumers lining up for each morning outside of our Nintendo World store [in New York City]."

In fact, the Balance Board-bearing fitness game is one of the year's best-sellers, in the same league as Wii Play and Grand Theft Auto 4 by sales figures.

Fils-Aime concluded by once again laying plain that the Wii--the cheapest of the three major home consoles--won't receive a price cut. "At some point, it will be time to adjust the [price]... but we're nowhere near that point now."
