Personally, I'd doubtful that there is anyone who has seen Wii systems available in stores for months who isn't either lying or confused; I must admit that I initially saw some display boxes in a Walmart in March and thought they were Wii systems. Sites like WiiTracker.com and iTrackr.com still report very low availability online and instore so I couldn't imagine a region that had a high availability; you could make a decent profit on the system by buying it, selling it on ebay for a small ($25-$50) profit with almost no effort.

Certainly, supply is getting closer to demand and I'm told retailers are now willing to take deposits and pre-orders on Wii systems again; the steady supply means that they can predict how long it will take them to get a system in stock and sell it.
