I expect there will be big shipments for Wii Fit. Nintendo is going to do the full court press for Wii Fit and will throw everything but the kitchen sink for its launch. May/June could see new sales records for the Wii.

Okay Fishy I completely understand that, but you seem to not answer my question. Will there be a point when I can actually walk into a electronic store and ask if they have any Wii's and they respond to a "yes"?

Will that be around June or will I have to play the-wait-outside-at-4am-until-BestBuy-opens game?

Tell your local congressional member to stop printing money so maybe the dollar might strengthen a little bit and give some incentive for N to send some extra wii's in our direction. (Not to mention lower gas prices...)

Yes it is still sold out all over the USA for the most part. What I find is the best way is to NOT shop at Gamestop for the Wii. They dont get nearly enough consoles in stock. Pick up the weekly circulars from Best Buy, Circuit City, Target, etc. and see if they will have Wii's the next week. You can ask an employee when they go on sale, but if my memory is accurate, they go on sale Sunday mornings. So get there early. If you want to get one online, go to a website like http://wiitracker.com/ and I suggest signing up for the text message service. The will text you right when one becomes available.

Thanks bro for the tip, I hate buying things like electronics off websites because many factors can kick into place. Wrong address and name and sorts.

I'm looking to buying one at my local electronic store. So I will be looking for the weekly circulars at Best Buy and Circuit City and Target and Walmart. But will I have to wait in line for the Wii though at these retailers?

 UK sales nintendo gets more money from them becasue of currency exchange to Yen that is why not to metion Mario Kart just launched there. But to answer your question there is normally some ppl waiting but by 11am for CC most places are sold out if they had a shipment thats why you should go 15 min before they open after checking the circular the day before online for your region. I used to work at CC.

Thats crazy and by then I will be focusing more hours on the PS3 and Xbox 360, NDS and PSP then worrying about a Wii.

In North America you cannot walk into a store and buy a Wii. period.


Back in early March I was stalking GS and BB for weeks before I found one.



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