I live in Spain and the Wii can be found in some stores ,and people arent exactly fighting over it to buy it .I am not saying those units remain there for months or weeks unsold ,but the fact is that you can go and buy them withour so much effort .If I were of the fanboy kind I would make some photos and then put them in internet in some blog with titulars like " Wii collecting dust in the shelves " but that isnt my cup of tea .
That certainly doesn't seem to be the experience here in Canada! (and the US and Japan from everything I'd heard: I don't know about the rest of Europe). I can see how the Wii hype may be bypassing some relatively minor markets where the marketing machine might not be as finely tuned, but Nintendo's hit a home-run where it counts in Japan and North America.
I think the Wii is pretty clearly the "it" brand in all of marketing right now (I remember a story, I think on this site, that it was the #2 more recognized newly launched brand in the US after KFC Famous Bowls :)
