Forums - Sales - When will wi stop selling out?

But I didn't read the selling out part. I think that Wii supply will outstrip demand by Summer 2008, as normally this is when it usually happens, but like the DS and PS2 before it, it'll sellout during holiday seasons.

This is a tough question. Nintendo is at max capacity and is still struggling with demand and there is a lot of kids that have Wiis owed to them for Christmas. The system appeals to such a broad range of people and theres a ton of people in the "I will get one as soon as I can find one" crowd. You also have the I am waiting for x game to come out crowd that may be waiting for Brawl or Kart. By the time a lot of people are appeased it may just be Christmas time again and the cycle begins again.

So I am going to take a shot in the dark by saying that it will be a bit easier to find when summertime comes around but will be sold out again by September.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

What is really going to suck is that in 5 yrs against all his crusades, leo-j is going to realize that he was going against truth and the effort he put in for those years, to prove that fabrication of his mind, had little effect on his life other than to show him not to trust his inner judgments, something that could have been gotten from any of these topics if he only did a little self-assessment.

I dont think you people get the topic:

Its WHEN WII WILL STOP SELLLING OUT

in other words when will it be available when you walk in and find as many wii's as ds's.

 I am the only one that finds the humor in this post. I mean the DS is the only system that is selling more quickly than the Wii.



the wii will be sold out for the next 25 years



I am WEEzY. You can suck my Nintendo loving BALLS!

Unfortunately, and as crazy as it sounds, I don't think 2008 is even going to be a possibility. Initially, I might have agreed with your March '08 as all the Christmas shoppers who still had the console on their mind, finally find one (and there may, in fact, be a temporary reprieve at that time) - but with WiiFit on the horizon, I think the console will, once again, become a scarce commodity. And Christmas '08? Forget it - it will once again be the hottest gift...

Try back in March '09... :(


 QFT, I absolutely agree.  We will likely see some signs of sellouts slowing down early in the year but nothing widespread.  Ultimately it will be hard to find again next X-mas and it will likely settle in and be readily available sometime in early '09 around March-May timeframe.



To Each Man, Responsibility

when the sucessor of the wii comes out lol XD, nah being truthful is hard to tell mate

Just a question, I predict march 2008.

 

Right after Wii fit and with SSBB and Mario Kart on the horizon. Ha, no way in hell.. 

 I predict it'll slow a bit by around September/October when game sales start to slow, but will soon pick up again by November at the start of the holiday season.
