Forums - Nintendo - Its been 2 years now, is it still hard to find a WII ??

WiiStation360 on 04 November 2008

2.4 M per month = 28.8 million console per year.

Either Wiis will be abundant next year in the US, or Nintendo will be closing in on 80 million Wii sales at the end of FY 2009.

Nintendo increased production to 2.4m Wiis per month to fix the problem. Unfortunately, at the same time they also increased demand for the system by releasing damn fine games.

Exactly.  I'm loving my copies of F-Zero Wii and Starfox Wii.

I see the Wii all over the place. At Best Buy last week I saw at least 13 boxes. Come up to the Great White North. We have husky sleighs ready at the border to take you to our igloo Best Buy shops.

They are fairly easy to get if you will buy a bundle of several games. (Sometimes you can even pick the games). I think there are a few places that will let you prepay. It may take a couple of weeks, but you can avoid having to get a bundle and do store hopping. Otherwise, you can just check now and then until you get lucky.

I expect that on black Friday (less then a month away, my how time flies), supply is going to be greatly increases (but so will demand).

Yup, all over Toronto. Been continuously in stock at Yonge/Dundas bestbuy for months now 0 since mid summer. PS3 is often out of stock...



Trying to convince me the Wii is a real adult game machine 'if you play it right' is like trying to convince me Tofu tastes great 'if you just cook it right'

Here in Spain all the stores have good amounts of Wiis ....no problem getting one.

Yep, that's why it is finally outselling the PS3 there.

So, at least one more round of production increases will be required.

Won't find a Wii around here.



Boycotting the following:

1. Yoshi: He ate my car and spit out a toaster.

2. Igglybuff: Totally false advertisement. You can have as many as you like they don't buff nothing.

3. the Terms Hardcore/Softcore... We're talking Video Games. Not Porn.

4. The term Casual as relates to Gamers: We make them sound like outsider's that happen to play games.  If that were the case they'd own a PS3.

5. Donuts.... Beacause I drink Beer...... and the biggest fan of Donuts hates Beer.

6. Boycotts: Their so lame.
