I still want to know what caused the boost.

Also, Wii is massivley down YoY despite a pricecut and NSMB Wii.

HAHA!

You're so quick to point out PS3 shortages, yet you ignore the console that's having real shortages.

The only shortages i heard about for Wii were mid January. Have they been sorted?

Wiis are impossible to find, just like ps3s. Nintendo has been sending out more stock than Sony, which helps a bit, but there's still far more demand for the Wii than the ps3, so we end up with more people looking for Wiis than ps3s.


Is this a new definition of impossible that we are all unaware of?

260,000 Wii's and PS3's sold last week.

 

It's called hyperbole.  My gosh.  The fact is, what few ps3s we get at my store are sold directly to those who have reserved systems, and we still have 8 people waiting in line.  Yeah, they're not impossible to find, but it sure is a pain in the ass at the moment. 

Though online stores seemingly have them, so if you want one, I'd pounce.

According to spwolf on gaf, Amazon got in a shipment yesterday, but sold out fairly quickly. Seems they've gotten in more today, and I doubt they'll last long, much like the shipment yesterday:

There was some restock at amazon (out again now) and gamestops (socal), so shipments might arrive before or maybe sony/stores are sending units in from other areas...

Quite interesting to see how this drama/failure unfolds
