Forums - Sales Discussion - When will wi stop selling out?

Renar on 31 December 2007

Basically, early 2009. Maybe.

Yes, it will have some units here and there in the late spring and summer, but not that many. Why? Because of a little thing many like to call 'stockpiling'. They were unable to squirrel away that many for the 2007 holidays, and it bit them. Summer 2008 will be a time to store away some for winter 2008, or at least start a build up for the 2008 holidays.

But I say maybe. Because like Wii Fit for 2008, something could come along in spring of 2009 to grab even more Wii away from the stores.



Torturing the numbers.  Hear them scream.

We've commited mass genocide, been convicted of rapes, mutilations, necrophilia, adultery, and reality television....and you are waiting for that moment to declare humanity's failure?

Honestly, I think the Wii should have stopped selling out in August or September and then resumed selling out for the holidays but given Nintendo's overly conservative nature, it's hard to say when it will stop selling out.

My vote goes for July of 2008 when Nintendo pulls its head out of its ass and starts producing both the DS and the Wii in the numbers wanted by the public. They'll reach saturation for a few months and then sell out like crazy again during holiday 08.

Repeat ad nauseum until end of life from there...

 Better than thinking God lives on some cloud with winged dudes and you have to kill in his name, that is real proof of humanity's failure
