I don't know about other areas, but I know in the Dallas area they are still next to impossible to find. Since I live in a fairly small apartment with a tiny kitchen and I like to cook, I go to Wal-Mart and Target fairly often to buy ingredients. I also go buy Gamestop pretty often (since it's connected to Starbuck's) and just browse. Since the night of the launch, I have seen Wii's on shelves a total of three times.

The first was at Gamestop late in the afternoon about a month ago. I was talking to the employee and he eventually asked if I had a Wii and if not if I would like to buy one. They got a shipment in that day (and a good sized one at that) and they still had one left. They weren't actually putting them on the shelves but rather just keeping them for when people actually ask if they have any Wii's in stock (no idea why). I didn't check back but I'm sure it was sold fairly quickly.

The next one was later that week actually when I was at Wal-Mart and saw two Wii's in their game display case. That was at about 4 and I had to go back a few hours later since I forgot a few things and they were both gone.

The last time was about two weeks ago when I was at a Movie Trading Company and they had a used one. I haven't been back since but I'm assuming that it's gone too.


So I'm guessing there's still a pretty decent demand for the Wii, at least in the Dallas area. Just like the others said, this really isn't a good or bad thing. It still makes people think that the Wii is this super valuable item but it also frustrates people that really want a Wii and can't find one.
