@noname2200, yes it was shortages driving the demand for the wii. it was kind of a herd mentallity going on. why else do you think people were able to sell wii's for 800 bucks on ebay? because demand was high and people were unable to find them in stores. why were stores placing wii's in four hundred dollar bundles and selling them that way when they were only supposed to cost 250? because demand was so high since people couldn't find them in stores any other way and they didn' t want the kids to be disappointed at Christmas. hey there are still no wii's in my local walmart today. the wii's success is driven by demand for something that people hear about yet seldom see. if you look at recent sales numbers for the wii and ps3 for the past several weeks, you'll see that the numbers between wii and ps3 have been the closest of all the consoles recently even closer than ps3 and 360 or ds and psp even though the ps3 costs $150 more than the wii, and last week ps3 outsold 360 and Wii combined in Japan.
