Forums - Sales - Are wii's in stock near you?

Wow Griffin, you really want the Wii to stop selling once and for all. I just find that anger quite qorrying in some Sony fans. Diomeds, Griffin I'm worried.

BTW "so few Wii's were sold this week in America" you are just a clown.

 

I don't think i have ever said i want the wii to stop selling.  And i'm not sure if you are implying that i'm angry or not?  Why would i be angry that the wii is selling?

And there is no need to resort to personal insults, everyone can see that the wii has sold very little this week compared to its average for the year.

the store I work at gets around 5 a week



@Griffin, where did I insult you? I just said I found your Wii hate worrying.

Flamebaiting with "Wii sold so few" that makes you a clown, I mean we can all laugh about that big fallacy. Also so few compared to what? Last weeks sales were around 130k.

Suddenly 113k after breaking all records for May and April is few, and Wii is a fad now that MGS4 is out right? If your intentions were true, then why didn't you point out that PS3 and 360 sales this week are also bad?

After so few wii's were sold this week in NA i want to know are wii's in stock where you live, there could be massive shipment this week and it would be nice to see if its true, before we get our data from ioi for this week. If you happen to see some wii's in the wild in NA please list how many you saw and what stores and what part of NA you live in.

I was at a Blockbuster, Rogers video, HMV and a ebgames yesterday and each store had 2-4 wii's in stock, i live just east of Toronto, Canada.

 

Wii's are completely out of stock in the most of the lower southeast US and Amazon.com. I can confirm that.

It's novel that people don't "believe" the Wii is having supply issues, but it's acually quite uninformed to assert that the Wii is in stock, as a possibility, with all the information out there that says otherwise.

 

Amazon.com and ebay prices are far greater than anecodotal experience of posters on the internet, whom could or could not be lying in the first place.

It's simple. You'll know when the Wii is in stock. Trust me. More hardcore Wii-Haters than you guys on this site will point that out with its own topic. So, yeah.

I also never said the wii is not having supply issues in certain parts of the world.  And how is it uninformed to ask people if the wii is instock at certain stores around them.  The wii has sold below its average for atleast the last couple of weeks and one would assume that a large supply should be coming soon.

Why would someone lie on an internet forum and say there are wii's in stock if they are not, that just makes no sense.  And i saw 4 stores yesterday with wii's in stock, i even listed the 4 different stores that had them in stock.  And why would you label us "wii-haters", its true i don't like the controls, but to say that i hate the wii as you are implying is just wrong.

 



Why do you care so much about the Wii being in-stock or not, if you dislike the console?? Come on, this is like the third thread you make, and people are getting tired of proving your theories about Wii sales dropping all of a sudden wrong.

Every time you get the chance you talk shit about Nintendo, about SMG, about Zelda, about the DS, about the Wii and you can never back things up properly. You always seem to find stacks of Wii's near you, but 99% of this site says the contrary... Who shall I believe, one human or 10,000 humans?

"you are just a clown." this is an insult.  And how is posting that the "wii sold so few" this week flamebaiting.  Compared to its year average its selling low.  In some other thread before they stated that the wii was selling over 160k each week, and now its at 112k.  

And why would the wii be a fad since MGS4 is out.  And I have always expected the wii to sell over 100mil.

My intentions were true with the thread, i wanted to find out if there where more wii's at retail then before. Since i expect Nintendo to ship more to NA this week.

I also think you think i'm a Sony fanboy when i'm not one.  I would of owned 360 this gen but i'm not paying $400 a gen to play online.  I also don't hate Nintendo, i have a GBA, DS-lite and a SNES sitting in my apartment.  And i have owned more Nintendo games and systems then any other company.



There's no Wii's in Missouri. I haven't seen any in a long time.

This is a site about gaming sales, one would assume we talk about gaming sales.  I care about the wii because there are people who want the system and cannot find it, and its amazing at the sales the wii puts up each week.  And the system selling 25mil units this year is impressive, so i think we should talk about the wii every chance we get.  I also don't "dis-like" the console as you would put it, i just don't like motion controls.  And i also don't have a theory about wii sales dropping or anything, so i don't see how they are disproving anything.

And i never talk shit about Nintendo, i don't talk shit about SMG either, all i said about the game was that i found the controls and camera to be bad.  The only Zelda i have ever talked about is PH, becasue it was the only one i really got into.  And i quit playing it becasue i did not want to play the time dungeon again because it was very bad.  I never talk bad about the DS, i own the system, all i ever said about it is the stores don't carry any of the good game, they carry all the crappy ones.  I also always back up what i say.

And you can always phone the stores i talk about if you do not believe what i say, but i live in canada and you live in Argentina so that might be hard for you.  And if any of the posters that live around me want to phone the stores i will tell you the exact store i went to.

 



@Griffin: Ok, fair enough. I still think there's no need to create threads about it everytime Nintendo sells below average, though.

Sorry if I misinterpreted you.

 

EDIT: 1337 post! LEET post FTW!
