Let's not throw around the word "kids" so loosely.  You are the second youngest member of this site (other than Soriku) and the vast majority of us are 5 to 10 years older than you.  You implied that Bod was lying, when he's just reporting helpful information from his particular store.  Of course the Wii would sell out for longer in a Toys R Us than anywhere else... the Wii dominates the child demographic and Toys R Us is a story for nothing but that demographic.

I have found 1 in stock in my local gamecrazy every so often. Never in the Walmart though. Those are the only two place I go semi-regularly.

Who here owned a Colecovision!?
Raise your internet hands!

The term "kid" is typically used for anyone who likes Nintendo products.
I've actually never been offended by that term.


I still can't ascertain why people value one company doing so well over the other. Seriously... the better that all 3 companies do in competition, the better it is for all of us.
I'm actually happy Ninty is winning.
You know Sony and MS will have to up their game.
We reap the benefits of creativity.


If the PS3 won by a landslie,
I'd be a bit scared on what I'd have to pay for a PS4 =)

I go to Toys R Us all the time.  Ironically it's the only place i've seen a Wii in stock.  I think Leo-J just doesn't understand the concept of distribution and that the Wii can still be sold out in many parts of the country and yet not in other parts.

Heck it's possible for the Wii to sell out in some parts of the same city and not in others.

Circuit City must be a kids store too, because we can't keep our Wiis in stock either. Early morning lines and vouchers have ceased, however.

Shipping has changed. We no longer get them from UPS/FedEx. They come from our distribution center. (Though I'm not sure what significance that holds) We're getting about 25% more Wiis than the period up to the shipping change.

To further what Kasz is saying here, each state is serviced by a range of different distribution companies.  Some are better at getting good distribution than others.

Jack of all gaming, D & H Distributing, Ingram, Star City Video, Video by Cycling, Key West Marketing, SVG Distribution, SMP Enterprises, Mecca Electronic Industries, MAS and Vast are all US distributors for the Wii to various states.  As you can imagine, distribution among that many distributors won't be perfect.
