SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Nintendo Co Ltd (7974.OS: Quote, Profile, Research) expects to keep its Wii video game console priced at $249 for the time being since it is selling all of the units it makes, a senior U.S. executive said on Thursday.

"We'll stay at $249 for the foreseeable future. We are still selling everything we can make," George Harrison, senior vice president of marketing at Nintendo America, told Reuters in an interview.

Funny how no stores around me actually carry it for that $249 price tag.

LIES!
