Saw a Wii at my local Wal-Mart for the first time in awhile...Had multiple in stock. Maybe the demand issue isn't as constrained as some think? (not saying that it's not selling - just that it's not constrained as some argue).

Also, I *do* think that it's a pretty...Meh...Week for the Wii @ 750k. Why? It had well over a 100% increase vs. last November, but hasn't quite posted the same increases in NA this December.

Of course, VGC could just be off by a ton too. But if true...It's great for Nintendo, but not as great as November was/is.

 

 let me put it this way, last month I kept saying that I thought Wii was too low, Thesource kept making reason why these numbers were not low, then NDP came out and showed the Wii was undertracked by 400k. Like I said, unless Nintendo for some reason release a larger than proportion stock in nov, we are gonna see more major undertracking this month.

Also, walmart is the one place if you walk in at the right time you can find one, you see TRU and BB and other release them on Sunday, after they advertise it in there weekly brochure. So EVERYONE piles up there sunday morn. Wallyworld seems to put it on the floor when they get it, which means people who are looking might not be waiting for them when the stock arrives. Also it could be a sign of massive stock.

 

This is correct... trucks are genreally finished unloading by 9pm and stock is pushed to the floor after lunch at 10 pm... night ship stocks these items till 2 though generally speaking Wii's are not stocked untill the next day, but they can get them from the back if you ask.
