Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Are we finally seeing the end of Wii supply constraints in the UK?

For online sales I do not know how they were made .... I have got 27 wii in stock today!! good news
Per week:
PS3 about: 10-15
Wii when there are: 20-25
360 about :1-2! Sometimes not at all
Of course, numbers vary by weeks / months
The 360 sells for little in france in general and poor sales at my store...

pour répondre à ta question lombard je pense que la 360 est sur une mauvaise pente en france!!


Thanks, it will be interesting to see how the situation will move in some week, when the wii will not be out of stock. I'm surpised for the ps3, in comparison to the wii, more strong than i thought. For the 360, i hope better, because i thought micromania was a shop for gamer, so a good place for the 360. And, there is no software for 360 to change the situation, before a long time.

Le pire pour la 360 si je te comprends, est que la situation se dégrade, et non se stabilise.

is this a case of massive supply push or demand waning? It would seem that Nintendo has found an equalibrium point at least in France. They seem to be shipping just enough that it is not sold out within minutes. I am not to sure about the UK yet however.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

On eBay they're down to around RRP which is a fairly good indication of lower demand or higher supply.



Numbers of ps3 vary from week to week, when I say 10-15, the week after that perhaps  5, as another 15 ... We will say that the pace ps3 are located in France and begins to make a place ... For the wii I still remember the impressive sales at Christmas (the record is 55 by 1h30!), To conclude the wii dominates the market in france and ps3 is maintained without breaking reccords ...
Indeed, the xbox360 sees its situation deteriorate, it is time to cut price! Quickly!

and certainly in some other area.


In france, really no problems to find the wii.
Is it now the case in uk or not?



I see Wii's in stock regularly at my local Tesco, they haven't been sold out since christmas. Amazon seem to have them regularly too while play.com have them but limit to one order per customer. I think Wii is now in good supply - until Wii Fit and Mario Kart of course.
