Wojtas, in UK they're still selling out in many places. I don't know if it's the only European country where the Wii sells out.

If you look at this weeks numbers you see that the wii is selling just as many units in Europe as it's selling n the US. It is weird, it would imply that we get bigger shipments.

Maybe it's because we're 450 million, and not 300 million: it helps... ;)

But anyway, i can say the situation's quite the same here in Belgium: Wii's are easily available... you often see piles of Wii's in the bigger stores, and they usually sell fast, but not in one or two days: it takes usually one or two weeks, for something like 300 Wii's in a store like Media Markt...

Just because it's not a sold-out situation doesn't mean the console has no huge success... and closer we get to christmas, higher the demand should be, so a possible sold-out may happen soon anyway...

Yes, that might be true. I honestly dont check every day in the stores to see how many get sold. what i would like to know is: anyone any clue on how easy it is to shift production capacity from say PAL to NTSC?

I know Nintendo probably did some planning (how many units to ship to a specific country by when) and that also resulted in planning of NTSC production vs. PAL. Now, after seeing relative demand (being much higher in the US it seems), how quickly could Nintendo react in shifting production capacity?

this has been the case all year, at the moment in the UK you cannot buy a machine anywhere, real world or online, yet if you use a bit of initiative you can actually order one from germany which costs a fiver less than the UK RRP including delivery!
