I went to Target at 8:20 (20 min after opening) and met a man coming out with a Wii Fit box. I asked him how many were left and he said he had the last one.
Went to a nearby small Walmart at 8:40 (40 min after opening). From their display it looked liked that got 24 and after I got mine, 11 left. I confirmed that they had no more in stock except those on display. They also had 2 Wiis, the first time I have seen any in that store so apparently Nintendo is making some effort to supply consoles.
Walking in from the parking lot to work carrying the lime green Wii Fit bag, three people stopped me to ask where I got it. None of them even owned a Wii but planned to get one and Wii Fit. They had all apparently seen it on the news. All were a lot older than your usual gamer.
My impression is that they shipped a fair number based on that fact that I hadn't seen a single Wii in either store in the period that 3/4 of a miilion were sold. I'm guessing at least two million or more. Whatever they shipped will sell pretty damn quick. The news coverage has been very effective.
