Those Wii jokes are just never going to die :-)

Market share reports show Nintendo's Wii is giving Sony and Microsoft a solid kicking - the sales figures are insane. It's still pretty difficult to find any Wiis actually on the shelve in the UK - most people I know have been ordering on-line and waiting for the delivery.

Good news then, as we approach the Christmas season (yeah, I know) - Reggie Fils-Aime, head honcho of Nintendo in the US, has responded to criticisms of Wii supply.

News coming in from the US over the last 48 hours is pointing to a massive move against mod chip stores, suppliers, and fitters. Federal agents under the Immigration and Customs Enforcement group have been leading and organising these raids.

Several sites have gone off line and aren't responding to emails. Xbox scene have posted up this account from guy who was raided: http://www.xbox-scene.com/xbox1data/sep/EElyEEkAllysyVJWYQ.php
