Where is Wii this holiday season?

If you have yet to buy a Wii and have decided on placing all hope in Santa being able to snag one for you, you may want to stop holding your breath. Wii demand is a strong as ever this holiday season, with stores such as Game, HMV, Woolworths and Tesco all stating that Wii consoles are selling as soon as they arrive, meaning that if you don't act fast, chances are you won't be getting one.

'The fact people can't find them seems to drive the demand forward. They are selling out as soon as they are going into the stores.'

I find it amazing the Wii is selling so strongly, but Nintendo really need to kick it up if they want to make the most out of the Wii this holiday season that they can. If you have yet to buy a Wii and am wanting one for Christmas...... pray. Just pray.

Or you could get up early in the morning, grab some blankets (if its cold) grab your DS and then wait it out. I did neither. It was so instant.

We were already looking for Wiis. So we had no luck finding one. We decided to take one last shot at it and wait 3 hrs at Target. We didn't prepare anything but coats. It was the longest 3 hrs ever and I would do it again if I had the chance.

I had called my local Gamestop if they had Super Mario Galaxy in since I reserved it. It took me twenty minutes to get there to pick it up. The guy there said when I had called, he had three Wiis and by the time I got there, they were already sold out.

Heh luckly I got mines on April Fools.....if I bought one now....I wouldn't even have any luck.


Now back on subject:

I think mainly the reason the Wii is going into a selling franchise again like it was a year ago is because Brawl is coming soon and Super Mario Galaxy is out and everyone wants them but they want the Wii too;)
