Forums - Nintendo Discussion - I saw my first Wiis in the wild today

I've seen them on rare occasions in the Philly burbs.  But they're still pretty limited.  This doesn't bode well for this holiday season...

I have yet to see any in any store I walk into.

Another not so shameless plug from your resident Circuit City employee:

Circuit City is doing a re-launch today (Sunday August 19th). So if you want one, head on down. If you just want to see how well they are selling, go in after noon and ask how many they got and how many they have left. *shrug*

It's advertised in our ad, but not on the front cover like many of the previous re-launches.

 



We've also got Bioshock @ $49.99 ($39.99 for you PC gamers) on Tuesday. God, I don't think I can wait any longer for this title!!



I've seen well over 30 wiis in the wild and I don't even try looking for them. Everytime I've been in the walmart in Sudbury, Ontario, they always have had at least 5, and everytime I go back to the store before leaving, they're gone. My city had 2 last week and they were FINALLY sold, that's right, they were there for a VERY LONG TIME, they just got two more a few days ago. It's not an unusual thing, it just depends where you're located.

In all fairness to Ps3, it is often hard for me to tell when we have sold one. We only have two on the shelf, and most are in the back. If they sell when I am gone, and get restocked, it can easily look like none have sold. We have had increased Ps3 sales since the price drop.

Back to the topic at hand-- I almost never get to sell Wii consoles because of my hours. They have often sold long before I get to work. Still, if we get enough they can last a day or two. I have to admit, I really get a kick out of selling them.

Have yet to see one in any store, period. I only go to the store every other week, but still...

Been in stock here in the UK for over a month, when I was in both finland and germany about 3 months ago, they too were in stock.



Available around here... and if not in stores at least online they're in stock everywhere. So or Holland is getting enough supply now, or interest is dropping. WII was sold out here for a long, long time.

Edit: would like to see it as soon as major titles are releasing. Interesting releases are kind of dried out at this moment.
