Next expected big shipment here in our beautiful country is in 2 months. That's right 2 MONTHS! It's completely insane and Nintendo are extremely stupid for releasing it with so few supply. They promised a million at the US launch.

 

 hmm if i were you i won't bet on it i live very near too the 2 largest mediamarkts ;)

You'll get fit while running around all over the place to find a single copy.

Supply.

But the more important question is, why?

I mean, the American launch was three weeks ago, and Europe was over a month ago.

Where are the damn balance boards.

Okay seriously can we stop the threads about how poorly every nintendo game is selling while they are all passing 5 million sold. Wiifit as brought out is sold out quite a bit even if it is dying off it still will at least sell 6 million copies, it's not a sequal and it's 90 bucks, that is insanely huge.

But it's more then likely to come into stock and keep selling. While more games come out to support the board they will continue to sell, the price will drop before year end and year end sales will get big again, and expect this game to fly right over 10 million. And, no one is going to bother coming back to apologize for jumping the gun.

The MediaMarkt in Utrecht doesn't have it, I can guarantee you that. They receive very minor shipments once every week, which are sold out within the hour or so.
If you live so close, why not have a look yourself. You'll be amazed.
And now we're at it, see if you can find Mario Kart as well... (Do you still always choose the Rainbow road? Haven't been online for a while).

say for arguments sake it is a fad and Wii Fit didn't sell another copy - 4.7M balance board, several games already announced for it and another coule of Nintendo games would be more than enough to sell the balance board on it's own and make it a must have controller for the Wii.

Job done as far as i'm concerned - I mean it has a bigger userbase than the PS3 in Japan.
