Lol at everyone assuming that those piles of Wiis aren't getting replenished... You can't tell sales just by looking at the size of the piles.

Even as far as anecdotal evidence goes, this is practically worthless now (not criticizing the thread itself, just the latest content).

Neos said: too much time on your hands :P

Yes, I have my vacation and I am leaving for Iran next week, I will be gone for more than a month. So you guys probably won't hear much if anything from me for quite a while. My girlfriend still has an important Pharmacy exam coming up and I'm helping her with that.

I live in the city center, I had some other stuff to do anyhow. Like buying some presents, including toys for some kids.

@ Neos

It's going to be my second visit to Iran, some pics from my first visit:





I'm really looking forward to my next visit! 8-)

^Iran? 80

I guess its not that bad, more action seems to be happening in Israel at the moment. At least its not Iraq or Afghanistan...

Thanks for the pics! Lots of stock, means Ninty can finally start to *really* market the machine.

Good to see they're pushing Family Ski. It's a really fun game and deserves way more attention.

@ shams

I was there more than 5 years ago, had a great time visiting the old palaces of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi and his father Reza Shah, I also took a trip from the capitial to Esfahan, often referred to as the most beautiful city in the world!

Furthermore I went to the North of Iran with its trophical forests, Swim in the Caspian Sea and I swum in the hot waters of the Damavand Volcano.

Beautiful scenery, it was really hot when I was there but the volcano's top was covered by snow and ice.

No that I don't believe you on those last two stores...

but I could take the same pictures... yet there are no wiis buy me.

The stores by me keep "Display only" boxes of wiis up... even when they have no Wiis.

Considering you live in the Netherlands people likely only disbeleived you because of your usual propencity to overplay anything not in PS3's detriment.

(edit)

I can post a picture undoubtably stating the Wii is in stock at Intertoys.

But why should some stores have tons of Wii in stock and others have nothing?

Do I get an apology if I post a picture undoubtably stating the Wii is instock at Intertoys? Why should some stores have tons of Wii and others nothing for certain?

Note I directly said I believe you. Simply said that anybody in the US in the ares that have stock problems could take the same pictures. As a comparison for anyone from America who might take the same pictures and think Wii's are in stock in areas where they aren't because they've never actually tried to get one.

Mostly so this doesn't devolve into a "Everywhere has wii's even everywhere in the US!" thread when it's really just display boxes.

When were there consumer woes in the Netherlands anyway?  I thought you could find the things there for months and months.  I remember that's where a bunch of people from the UK got theres when they couldn't get any in the UK.

@ Kasz216

OK, I misread what you wrote. This thread was off to a bad start, sorry I'm a bit jumpy.

I dislike it when people drag into doubt my creditability.
