Mackenzie has a portions of a transcribed interview with Nintendo’s Canadian vice president and general manager, Ron Bertram. While the vast majority of what he said was stuff we already know, one interesting tidbit turned up:

“We’re looking at a million (units) for North America at launch,” said Bertram. “When Sony came out (with their PS3 announcement), they said 300,000.

So there you have it, we’re only going to get 1 million consoles at launch. With the buzz this thing has already generated, a shortage is almost guaranteed. So if you haven’t preordered already, I suggest you do so, otherwise you could be in for a long wait.
