Is Wii demand waning? Stock market says "yes"

[superchunk]

ebay?! Did you actually look at ebay because your full of shit.

There's this neat little tool ebay has that will give you an average selling price for a query. If you query 'wii console' which is pretty much guaranteed to give you 98% Wii hardware only results showed an average price of $350.

If you just go to ebay and search 'wii' and then clicky the 'systems' filter link and then sort by 'ending soonest' you will see ~7500 wiis listed and the ones finishing in the next few minutes are all selling around $300. Still ABOVE retail. Granted, I will give you that at this time last year it was over $400, but it was also sold out.

Any item that is available in retail won't sell over retail on ebay for long.

Also, Nintendo shipped 50% more units to stores this holiday vs last holidays. That's probably a couple million units extra.

I throw down a bet right now that by the first week of December they will be sold out in the US again, maybe even the biggest markets like last year (US, CA, UK, FR, etc).

Like everyone else said, ALL stocks are down, most by a lot more than 4%.
