I just purchased Wii Fit yesterday at Gamestop. I was looking at some games and someone asked the manager if they had Wii Fit. I thought it was a dumb question until the manager said he had a couple. Sometimes it pays to hang out at Gamestop.

Is part of the shortage due to the balance board and steering wheel? I think that is why they are so expensive on ebay right now.

 

Yes, but not because demand for the peripherals is so high. Making and shipping these widgets is a harder task than just pressing discs, so it's easy for demand to steamroll the production capacity.

 

Absolutely.  But Mario Kart sales are amazing and it seems like shortages just keep coming.
