| DMeisterJ said: It is unprecedented, but also unprofessional, and very costly. Being sold out for a few weeks is good, but sixteen months of not being able to find it in stores means that if you don't feel like calling the store every day, or camping outside of Best buy/target/wal-mart then you would have had to buy another system to satisfy your gaming needs. I go to Best buy almost twice a week (my bro works there) and I have never seen a Wii in stock. I'm at GameStop at least three times a week, buying a used game or just being bored and I've never seen a Wii there. If I wasn't a gamer, I wouldn't even know that it was out. That's lost them hundreds of millions of dollars, maybe even a few billion if they can't get supply in order. That does not deserve credit. :( |
Well remeber they were timid because of the GCN, which they overproduced and then couldn't sell
