I really didn't want to get a Wii, but my daughter played with a classmates and wants one so I've been diligently looking. I go into a Target, Walmart, Toys R Us, GS, EB games, or other electronics retailer regularly to look for one. I've looked in Austin, Texas, Conroe, TX, Montgomery, TX, and Houston, TX as I travel those areas. I've not seen a single unit on a shelf in any of these towns since launch. Maybe Nintendo just doesn't ship to Texas.

I don't even ask the store employees any more as I always get an annoyed look and some kind of "good freakin' luck" or soemting similar as a response.

When the average person can walk into a store (any major store) and find Wii in stock then I'll say supply has met demand.  As of now, demand well outstrips supply in the U.S. as a whole.  A "few" anecdotal "I saw one in the wild!" posts doesn't get us anywhere near there yet.
