Here you have some European online retailers from different countries. I didn't find a single one selling Wiis yet, except for one retailer with a really crappy bundle.

Does it mean it's sold out everywhere? No... but it does mean it's sold out in a lot of places.

But below it says "Opération exceptionnelle, Stock limité. Offre épuisée ou en cours d'approvisionnement."

I'm sure you know what that means since you're French ;)

Ok, i understand now why you said that.

In all cases, online retailer are not good places to see if the product is really available or not. And, fnac or auchan don't update their website every hour, as amazon.

It's better to go to real stores and see what they have.

All stores, i have seen during week end don't have wii, exept the 3 stores i speak yesterday, which are videogame store, so not store as walmart (auchan, carrefour, leclerc ....., in France).

Of course, but I'm not about to board 10 ryanair flights to find out how many European retailers have the Wii in stock. The point is that most of the retailers I listed used to have the Wii in stock before Christmas, and now they don't, which to me is pretty telling.

In Portugal, the big shopping mall near me didn't have any Wiis in stock in the beginning of the year, but now I'm back to Sweden so I can't recheck.

i saw one in Gamestop yesterday... therefore it is not entirely sold out in the US... that is great logic...

ps- the Wii sold while I was on the phone... and many people can in to get it... but it was gone... (they must have called)



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.
