Forums - Nintendo - Are Wii sales in UK slowing down

Went to Game and Gamestation in my local Town and i was asking how sales going and they both said they have loads of Wii's in stock and there just not selling, and its the same in most of there branches in the uk, is this an early sign that teh wii is already on it was a gimmick, or is there another reason behind it, any ideas anyone

They are in stock on Amazon also. It's obviously not a gimmick but I do think Wii are slowing down a little. But I also think the UK has had higher shipments recently.



I do not believe a word you say. I found statements like this in your post history.

How much will the Wii franchise sell?

i dont think it will reach that muchm the wii is a fad , it will wear off, there is only so many types of games they can do, give it 4 more years and it will be gone at about 60 million, a few of my mates have sold theres in the last few months cause there bored of them

 What a stupid thing to say, gimmick was like the last word in the paragraph, lol.



Yeah, they are not selling out at all. You can walk in to any game store and buy one straight away.

yeah i went to at a graph to see if numbers had come down on average but that chart dont seem to work, just when i wen to buy one just over a month ago they were like rocking horse shit, but now everyone has them in stock, play , amazon, game, argos, just wondered thats all, it was only france and the uk it wasnt bottom of the leauge
