Nintendo: Wiis Hit Shelves This Weekend
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime confirmed today what we first broke earlier this week, Best Buy and five other national retailers will be having Wii events this weekend. And by event I mean they will be advertising the console in their weekly circulars and then throwing them up on the shelves comes Sunday and running away.
Best Buy, Target and Wal-Mart are three of the companies that will be stocking the Wii this weekend for those still on the hunt. We had several tips after our rumor story ran about the stock issue.
According to Best Buy tipsters it sounds like all stores will have at least 21 of the consoles with some carrying as many as 100. I've also heard that Best Buy is expecting a second shipment next week which is supposed to go straight to shelves. Most stores will get them sometimes before noon. The bad news is that rumor has it that that will be the last pre-Christmas shipment for Best Buy, though they expect more in early January.
Target, another tipster tells me, has a big stockpile as well, some stores have more than 100. So this weekend sounds like your best chance to pick up a Wii, unless you don't mind buying a raincheck.
