Nintendo supply problem?

If you can't find Wii's in Melbourne you must be blind. Myer Melbourne Central had a huge pile of them in a glass case, and EB Melbourne Central has had a "Wii in stock" sign up for the last three weeks at least.

Australia has never been a stronghold for Nintendo (and with the way we get screwed over for releases, I'm not surprised. Still no release DATE for Super Paper Mario. I thought with us getting the DS Lite before US that the situation would improve, apparently not)

Myer usually has a good price on Wiis and they had quite a few games going for $20 off.

Yeah, no shortage now. I wonder how they will keep selling - haven't seen much promotion/advertising, and it is the "quiet" period of the year (back to school after Easter). I thought those "in-centre" demonstration kiosks were awesome, and they should bring them back for this Xmas as well.

I don't know whats happening with Super Paper Mario - we have been pretty good with releases to date, getting US versions (rather than European versions - as Aust. is English only). I hope it arrives soon. I think Ive bought every title for $80 (Toys R Us), plus extra $10 off most (vouchers from launch pack - expires in a week).
