If I were you if your dying for a Wii just wait outside early in the morning to get one. Lucky for me at the time near launch. I just walked in Best Buy at around 2:30pm and asked for a Wii and the dude just handed it to me. I have owned Wii Sports and Wii Play, but I recently purchased Super Mario Galaxy. Wii is an amazing console, glad to be an owner 8)

There are no DS's where i'm from in the UK, and i want one :(

Just to add to the pain :D

...still tons of Wiis here in Basel, Switzerland. They even have a bundle now: Wii+Epson DMP1 projector/DVD

If you are near London, buy one of those magically cheap an Easyjet tickets, fly here, buy a wii, fly back (..wonder about the connector, though).

I won a gaming console of my choice from work (see past post) and I have chosen to purchase a Wii... It's been two weeks since Future Shop, Best Buy, or EB games received a Wii shipment, today the guy at EB mentioned that the DS is also missing.

I check everyday, twice a day at the Eaton Center (for those who know Toronto) and nothing from anyone..

The Wii has dissappeared from Canada

I work at target in australia and we just recieved a shipment of wiis on tuesday. Total of 27 consoles. They sold out in 1/2 an hour and we are now being told do not expect a shipment til febuary. ranzchic I think is right and nintendo needed to get consoles out to people before xmas and so sent them airfreight to make sure they got there.

I want wii fit and I want it now

Wait - you get paid to harass stores and find out if they have any Wii's in stock?!?!? How do I get in on this action?????

Heck I think the entire VGC forum would want in on that

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

He is reselling them obviously. Oh and ranzchic, you should really get a job. You wont be able to resell Wiis for much longer. The party is almost over, sir. Sorry.
