I really can't believe the Wii is still selling out like crazy everywhere. It was supposed to be the "hot" item LAST CHRISTMAS! I got mine in January after getting up way too early and hanging out outside (and then inside) a local GameStop for several hours for the new shipment to arrive. The news last year was that there would be plenty to go around..."A Wii under every tree" was the motto I was hearing. Then when I started looking for them in January, they were still very difficult to find, but everyone was hearing that they'd be plentiful by March.
March rolled around and no Wiis. Then Summer. Then Fall. Now, we're back to the Christmas buying season and they're saying that it's probably still going to be hard to find one if you are trying to have one under a tree. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime told IGN that he's been checking local retail stores and hasn't had much success finding Wiis on shelves:
"I couldn't find a single Wii system on the shelves - literally as I was walking into a Wal-Mart at 11 a.m., someone was walking out with the last one." So, they're breaking sales records, but still can't meet demand. It's pretty crazy. Since January, I've actually seen Wiis in various stores about a half dozen times...for a while they were actually seeming to be in stock a little more often. Around the time that Kevin bought his I saw them in 2 Targets and 2 Wal-Marts, but since then they've tapered off again and I've only seen them once in the last several months. Bizarre stuff...
