Luckily I got mine at launch. But I was talking to a Walmart employee yesterday and he said they get about 15 a week since they are a small store and they are sold out within 10 minutes if it's in the ad circular. They rarely even make it to the glass box cause people are actually appearing constantly to buy them at midnight like a launch all over again. It's been more then 5 months. No console ships over 6 million to retailers and keeps selling out like it's launch day. This has to be something that only happens in middle America.
I guess it's safe to say the "gimmick" isn't wearing off anytime soon. But this sales seems.... odd. I bought systems at launch befor I've NEVER seen anything like that. Is there any precendent to this? Nintendo seems to realize now that they aren't producing fast enough and several new factories came into production tis month but WOW.
Has any console done this befor? |
Wii is the Future of Gaming. It's to be expected. You're looking at the greatest selling console EVER in the making. And yes I'm talking about past the PS2. Look for AT LEAST 20 million sold, SOLD-THRU by December 31, 2007 11:59PM AKA the end of the year. Seems like rose-colored delusion but by the end of the year you'll realize it's not. This is just the beginning of the WiiDS Phenomenon, folks. You ain't seen NOTHIN' yet. John Lucas |
bold claim... are they even making 20 million this year? much less selling that many. |
No they aren't, but Lucas seems to forgett that.
