Nintendo has planned to ship its top-selling Wii and DS video-game consoles to US in the fourth quarter. It’ll help them to cater the holiday market demand.

According to Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo’s U.S. operations, More Wii consoles will be available in stores from October. Also he noted that Wii percent and DS handheld shipments are projected to rise about 10 percent.

“We are in unforeseen territory,” Fils-Aime said. “Will this finally be enough to meet demand? My answer is talk to me in January.”

Unlike last year Nintendo is trying to avoid shortages that limited sales in the U.S. In mid December, the company ran out of DS players. As the sales exceeded the forecast, company had difficult time keeping up with demand.

Because demand remains high for the current DS model, Nintendo won’t offer U.S. consumers a new version that includes a camera and music player until “well into 2009,” Fils-Aime said.

The new version of DSi will be available in Japanese market on November 1, the company has officially announced the launch in Tokyo.

In July it had sold 77.5 million DS players since the first model was introduced in December 2004. In August, the company raised its full-year profit forecast by 26 percent, which is higher-than-anticipated sale of DS and Wii..

Sony also plans to introduce an upgraded version of PSP in mid October, which will consist of a built-in microphone and a screen that displays sharper images.
