Forums - Nintendo Discussion - I saw my first Wiis in the wild today

Target in Round Rock, Texas had 8 units today about lunchtime.  They had just put them out... Some guy walked up, crapped a brick, and ran around to the desk to get the electronics guy to get him one.  I wasn't there any longer to see if others bought them up or not.

Perhaps some clerk goofed and put their "sunday" allotment out early

This is the first time I have seen Wiis in a retail store ever. 



I hate trolls.

Since about 2 Months ago, every time i go to the wal mart here in Salem, Oregon, I see 1-3 Wiis in the case.



Yep, they aren't impossible to find now, merely difficult in most areas.



See Ya George.

"He did not die - He passed Away"

At least following a comedians own jokes makes his death easier.

Awesome.. they won't be around very much longer. I saw my first (ten actually) last week at a Wal*Mart in Yorktown, VA (USA)

Just to see, I came back four hours later  and all of them were gone. This was on a Thursday morning. 

Incidentally, the two PS3s that have been there all month are still there.

 



I say seven Wiis at a target in Vancouver, Washington; and then later that day say about 10 Wiis at the toys R us in Portland, Oregon. All of this on the same day, and on a Friday

 Empty display boxes don't count.



To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.

I've seen a total of 9 Wiis sitting on shelves. I saw 20 brought out in a shopping cart on launch day (I got number 20, whew), but only 9 since then.
