That and it's going to be a while before there is a sufficent installed base of the board to support other products.... |
Isn't that what people said about the Wii 14 months ago? |
The wii is in stock at just about every store WW, so anyone who wants a wii can buy one, there is no massive stock shortage like ther was before. By the end of July the wii will have decent stock across all stores WW, this will allow Nintendo to bump Production to 2.4mil for the start of August and have enough wii's WW for the Christmas rush. |
The three stores I was in today that had neither Wiis nor WiiFits say otherwise...granted, this is a small subset of stores, but I still doubt your 'just about' every store claim. Evidence? Even anecdotal? |
The only place the wii is not in stock is the US, but more and more reports are coming in that the wii is in stock at more locations each week then the prior week. The wii has been in Stock for japan all year, and most of Europe for the most of the year aswell, as of 1month ago the wii has seen stocked stores in Canada. So by the end of july the US will see enough stock. |
1) See HappySquirriel's post about Canada. 2) If the Wii is not in stock in the US, then you can't really claim it is in stock at just about every store WW, can you? 3) Believe me, I would like it if the Wii had enough stock to stock America by July... but until it happens, I am making no predictions as to when it will, as every time they are made they are broken by the fact that we still don't know what monthly demand for the Wii is in America, because we still have not seen a month where it was not supply constrained. |
I live just east of Toronto and i have been able to buy a wii for over 1month, i don't need to camp out or anything. And kingofwale has stated that the Best Buy he works at in canada has wii's. |
*shock* The Wii is in stock!
Surely this must mean the sales will start to plummet because as soon as people can go out and get a Wii they will stop buying it.
