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  |
Seems to me that supply is pretty much meeting demand and we wont see any big jumps. if what you are saying is true then people are just hanging on a few days and then getting their console, so we simply have a weeks or so backlog of sales?
how long are people on your waiting list for usually before they get a console? and do they all come back or do some get one elsewhere in the meantime.
|
Depends. The first guy on our wait list has been their since the 17th. 5 or so from the list only signed on in the past few days (from the 20th).
But most people aren't willing to reserve. "$25 deposit? I'll go find one somewhere else."
But I believe we were supposed to get a shipment today. That should cover 3-6 people, depending on if we get one or two boxes.
Edit:
Oh, and our store is in the parking lot of a Wal-mart and down the road from a Best Buy. We're a last resort for most people that aren't part of our usual clientele, and we have people coming in to ask for ps3s from the bigger stores all the time. "You're out too? Damn."
