Here’s more proof that the problematic Wii shortage phenomena is very real: Nintendo’s waggly console landed the top spot in Nikkei Trendy’s Best 30 consumer hit products in Japan, topping other wildly popular consumer products and services and proving the astoundingly high demand for the Wii.

Last year it was Nintendo’s DS handheld that bagged the top honors, making this Nintendo’s second time in a row to win the Trendy consumer hits top spot. It is said that the Wii’s motion-sensing capability is the key factor in its success.

Other remarkable products that landed in the Top 10 in Trendy’s consumer countdown are YouTube (3rd place), Crocs shoes (5th place), and Krispy Kreme doughnuts (9th place).
