Well, Wii = Dead system I suppose

But in terms of sales:

Dead system = Vita



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

The Wii is not in stock at major internet retailers such as GameStop.

 

Brand new Wii consoles are currently not in stock at a number of popular online retailers including Best Buy and GameStop.

On the websites for Target and GameStop, the Wii is listed as backordered, and Best Buy has disabled the shipping option for Nintendo’s home console. However, all three retailers show the Wii as in stock at the majority of their brick and mortar stores.

New Wii consoles are also not available directly from Amazon. Orders for the Wii can still be made at Amazon, but other retailers are fulfilling them.

Since last October, Nintendo has bundled the Wii console with New Super Mario Bros. Wii and a Super Mario Galaxy music CD for a retail price of $149.99. The Wii's recent lack of stock could be sign that this holiday bundle as Nintendo described it upon release may be in it's final days. The Wii sold nearly 95,000 systems last month. In June 2011, the Wii sold 273,000 units after a May price drop. Nintendo World Report will continue to keep on eye on the situation.

Gamestop has New Wii's on Back-order - TRUE

Best Buy has disabled the shipping option for New Wii's - FALSE  (I just went on BestBuy.com and dropped one directly into a shopping cart and received this message : "Shipping: Estimated to arrive 08/01-08/06/2012")

Target has New Wii's listed on Back-order - FALSE     (I just went on Target.com and found 9 different types of New Wii's available for purchase, all of which specifically state :  "in stock online")

Other retailers are fulfilling all Amazon orders for New Wii's - FALSE      An actual review of what you referr to as "other retailers" shows that some of these "other retailers" orders state "FULFILLMENT BY AMAZON" along with the VERY specific message : 

Stored, Packed & Shipped by Amazon!

 

So of the 4 online retailers you stated to support your claim that "Brand new Wii consoles are currently not in stock at a number of popular online retailers ", 3 of them were a fabrication.  That's 75% of your post proven to be false.  I guess you were hoping that no one would actually check the accuracy of your claims.

Hilarious. I didn't write the article, I simply delivered the message to chartz. If you wanna hate on somebody, hate on the author of the article.

You're so cool for not having figured that out.

Stay ontopic, it has nothing to do with Vita.

If we can get passed the name-calling and the system-trolling, maybe it is just some channel clearing in preparation for a price cut.

No, what is hilarious is that you would put your name to a post that you yourself titled, "Wii not even in stock anymore at multiple online retailers" without bothering to check the facts of an article you decided to share with everyone.  All it took me was one minute on each of the 4 sites specifically mentioned in the article you read to prove that 75% of said article was fabricated nonsense.  So, your argument in return is that you can't be bothered to spend 4 minutes checking the facts of a story before you share it with the rest of us? 

You are so cool for not having 4 minutes to spare checking the facts of an article before trying to pass it off here as fact.

I did check long before you even wrote on my thread, by the time you wrote here they probably were back on stock. This explains the huuuuuuuge mystery you're trying to prove here. Congratulations for being such a good boy and checking those sites back again for me.... LOL.
