Forums - Nintendo Discussion - A brief story of Wii's at my job (Best Buy).

ha i saw the same ad for best buy today sitting on our couch. i wonder if that is the exact looking ad all across america

 

I'm pretty sure it is.

And about Mario Galaxy, you guys are right. It's phenomenal.

 

And concerning Mario Kart, I'm seriously flabbergasted at how well it's still selling. I still don't have it so I can't say how good it is or isn't, but people seem to love it. We have a demo on the floor and there's always someone playing it (unlike Madden).

I know it's blasphemous not to own Mario Kart, but it's on my list of things to get! I promise.

I go to our gamestop about 1-2 times a week, and they always have wiis. I buy as many as they let me (1). Never Wii Fit though. I wish, I'd sell that on ebay quick.



Thanks for the read. Like hearing all the stories of wii selling out instantly. And Mariokart is ridiculous with how it sells, very rarely see it in any of the Shopping centers here in Aus.

There are two (yes 2) Gamestops in my shopping center. They're about 1000 feet apart. Since we're always sold out, I think it's safe to assume that they're out of Wiis as well.

Instance, what game/electronic stores are there in Australia? Is there anything like Best Buy?



So what we've gathered is....the wii is selling well?

Im shocked



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

I wasn't doubting you, or trying to prove you wrong...  I just was expressing that here they aren't selling that well.  And I'm reaping all the profits.  :)

If you don't like the direction that the thread is going, than maybe you should answer some of the questions that I posed in the original post.

I absolutely understand. Sorry for the confusion. But yeah, pretty much everything in this thread is anecdotal and will definitely not be the same everywhere.

And if you don't mind me asking, how much are you selling them for?

Well I sold a few for 325-335 (not much profit after paypal, ebay fees, and shipping).  But right now I'm gonna horde them for a few more days.  It should get better 5 shipping days b4 xmas.  Wii Fit is what I'm really trying to find.  Good profit margin on those.

 



Man, I wish Wii was 250$ in my country and Brawl 50$. Wii is 270€here (around 350$) and Brawl is 55€.
