I don't care what anyone says, the sooner the Wii is in stock everywhere and everyone can buy one the better for us to know how this generation is going to pan out.

If there are enough Wii's in stock all over the US the better, I just want to know what the REAL demand is... if the hardware number hits 600,000 in April with FULL supply then that will be GOOD news don't you think?

I don't want the Wii to still be sold out, because it's impossible to gauge the REAL demand... if 250,000 for March was the number of units supplied, supply REALLY goes up and down each week... which is kinda lame, but I think Nintendo Held back.

Nintendo's financial meeting is being held currently so it will be very good to see their news about this, the projected number and production for the next year and the next quarter will be released today, so all of these things are good bits of information.

Itrackr may not be TOTALLY accurate, but it's a good indication, it in no way is a bad sign for the Wii... I can only see good from more stock being available.

PLUS demand can't continue with no precedence... i'm sorry but as Nintendo hasn't released and isn't releasing any new big huge games that are going to continue to pull customers it's only natural for the demand to start to subside...  

 EDIT - It's about time as well.


Definitely Origins,

Nintendo does need to meet demand and they need to meet it soon. There was a rather large shipment this week and just like every week there is a large shipment Itrackr spikes. No here is the thing neither of teh stores listed of having the Wii has had them since yesterday for the Bay Area and for kicks I put in my old NJ zip code and teh same thing happens. Itrackr is reliable to the extent that it is within a few days but not that reliable unless you really get over 30% or it stays the same all week. They even have notices to call stores before you go because of this reason. I got my Wii on Launch Day and I am glad I did because this wait is a long time for some of my freinds who want one now. I personally can't wait for Nintendo to meet demand and they actually need to to. Since stores need to sttart stocking for the Holidays. But still despite Kwaads bi-weekly hassle that happens after every shipment I haven't seen anythign yet to indicate that has happened.

 

Itracker has the 360 at 75% and the PS3 at 92%. The have stayed within 10% of those numbers for teh past month. IF teh Wii stays around 30-35% over the next week than evenif I can't find it in the Bay Area I will think demand has been meant and start looking at sales as they should be.

 

Oh and never forget the power of Wii Health.
