Wii Shortage - No More? (56K... Maybe Slow)

I was at Walmart earlier this week and saw a Wii console sitting in the electronics section. Yesterday I went and their were nine!

Is this the sign of greater supply or less demand, or even mere chance? If either of them then maybe towards the end of '08 those of you who wanted will get your different colored Wiis.

I was at both Best Buy and Target today. No Wii's to be found.

There are lots of Wii's in Scotland, but as you know TC... NO MARIO KART WII!!! :cry:gameofthering

lol, maybe by the time it gets released here in the States you will have yours ^^

You hit after a restock. Walmart doesn't say when they get in units. Also notice they are at the bottom most people never look down. Personally shelves need to be elevated somewhat I detest bending down to look at what is on the bottom. Move it two feet up. meimnobody

I'm short... so i see them just fine.... its the stuff on the top shelves that make my kneck hurt ) :

There's a whole science to what goes where on shelves. Eye level is the best area, so that's where the games go. The games are where a company makes the real money.

I've never seen a Wii on a store shelf, Period.

no wiis here either i got 2 so what the heck do i care lol ,, , but no its not over unil it reaches 120 million plus, and just because you got more wiis in a walmart gamestop doesnt mean anything yet, as long as wii sells itll continue oh and it probably got ramped up for mariokart wii launch just like brawls launch ,, so dont give your hopes up

I think that there weren't Wiis for sale for something like 2 months in Portugal. Nintendo probably redirected european Wiis to bigger more important markets like Germany and UK. There's simply no store/site selling them here.

Besides i've reserved 1 Mario Kart and havent received a text message to go pick it up yet.. game was released Friday 11th, lets hope i get lucky Monday.

On the other hand i think store employees can build castles to play paintball with all the PS3 boxes they aren't selling...

Where are u from? depending on ur location and how far Wlamart is from a community u'll notice more or less Wii's.... i live in NYC and the Nintendo Store sells out their Wii's daily... on weekends they sell 200 in less than 2 hours! i think it depends on location :)
