The interesting part here is that I was under the impression that Nintendo had straightened out their Wii production problems. Mainly because over here in The Netherlands (small market I know) I can now go into a number of stores and pick up a Wii without any trouble.

Which I promptly did of course thinking I got lucky and beat the shortages at last. Having great fun too :)

To my surprise however, it's now been over a month without Wii shortages where I live. The local Media Markt (one of the bigger European retailers - at least on the continent) has literally stacks of them now and has had stacks of them for a month*.

*) And I really do mean stacks. At least 50 in the store I frequent and yes, thats all actual consoles and not just cardboard boxes.

 A lot of the smaller PAL markets have sufficent Wii stock levels.  This is not so much that the supply issue has been remedied than it is those territories typically are not known for buying lots of Nintendo home consoles.

 

It's still a major supply problem across most of the world.   Unprecedented to be sold out this long post luanch in just about any region.
