Are Wiis getting easier to find?

[Chaotic42]

I was walking through Walmart and looked in the Electronics department for some XBox 360 games. I happened to notice that they had a Nintendo Wii. This is the first time I've ever seen one in a store.

Did Nintendo finally get on the ball and start making decent numbers of these? I picked the Wii up and it was the last one they had. I'll have to hook it up this weekend.

well damn, that would be pretty cool if they did get them back on teh shelves. too late for me, already got myself a 360 and some other things to add to my collection...

With 7 million sold worldwide, I don't think the Wii's are readily available anywhere yet. You were just in the right place at the right time.

There was six of them at Wal-Mart here where I live this afternoon. That was the first time I have seen one in a store since I bought mine.

I wasn't aware of a shortage. They have been readily available for months by me.

 

[SlitheryDee]

I've seen them on and off. They're never there for long though. I say you got lucky.

I've never seen one in a store. I did see a bunch of wiimotes and nunchucks for the first time in awhile the other day. Of course I stopped looking when my girlfriend bought me one.

They come in everyonce in a while here, but you have to be aware of shipments because they are gone in a day or two.

Heh, I asked the clerk for a Wii while they were still on the shelves. He said "Yeah, for once we're not sold out." Since mine was the last one, I told him he was sold out now.

I haven't seen any systems but at Wal-Mart they have the accessories (remote, nunchuck, mem cards, etc).
