Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Whats with the Wii shortages?!?!?

I tried calling every freaking Gamestop store and they say they are sold out within 1 hour. Is Nintendo going to increase shipment or keep the Wii's in the warehouses?

I'm sorry, but according to some people on this site there is not a Wii shortage and there hasn't been one since January. You sir are flat out trying to lie to us and I don't appreciate that.

@Neos

Tell Mario I said hi too.....I hope they increase the shipment. I tried calling those stores every single day and I think the Gamestop employees are lying, but anyway. What do I have to do, wait outside or stalk the UPS truck?

Well they are out too. Just got done calling my local Best Buy. Even the website says they are sold out.



Wii has always been like this in America. I am glad you are looking at a Wii, though. Wii is finally starting to get a lot of good games so they may be harder to get until Jan.

I've talked to a bunch of store clerks here in Finland about how the different consoles are selling, and none of them even knew there had ever been any Wii shortages. Apparently it's selling better than the others, although the PS2 still has a huge majority of the shelf space everywhere.
