I dont understand, I'm looking for a WII for my sister and every store I go to, I'll see mountains of PS3's and XBOX 360's sold at discount and bundls, but then theres an corner with a sign that says WII SOLDOUT. In Bestbuy: SOLDOUT, in Costco: SOLDOUT, in Walmart:SOLDOUT, in Toys R us:SOLDOUT, in Circuit City:SOLD OUT, in Gamesopt: SOLDOUT, in EB games: SOLDOUT, in Target:SOLDOUT. I have looked and called in every possible place where they might carry the WII. Can anyone else help a guy in need, and have any other places to call? and are you guys in my same position?

I'm not in the same position, as I already have a Wii, but my area has been sold out of Wiis too (DSes have been selling out quickly as well). Have you called around yet today? Last year, I remember some stores got a lot of Wiis in on Christmas Eve. I don't know if today will be the same as last year, but it's worth checking at least.

I live in Central New Jersey and I have yet to see a boxed Wii console with my own eyes. Whether I go to Target, GameStop, Bestbuy, Walmart, EB Games, etc. I never saw one. I envy those who live in areas where there are Wii consoles in stock.

It it quite amazing that over two million Wii units were sold in November along in the U.S. Will it reach three million units this month? Nintendo was unable to keep up with the high demand even though it began to increase shipment per month and the world is currently in an economic recession. If this trend continues for the next few years, it would be a matter of time the Wii will reach the 100 million-sells mark.

Wiis were in stock for most of the year where I live, but I think they've sold out now.

It took me 3 straight days of calling all stores that occasionally sell it twice a day before we managed to stumble into a raincheck at Zellers. And that was a month ago. Sorry to say but any stores that weren't sold out a month ago are going to be sold out on Christmas Eve.

Dude it's Christmas Eve. There's no chance of you finding one today. But the Wii's in my area, yes, have been sold out for quite sometime. Luckily my grandparents snagged mine at Best Buy on Black Friday, when there were 50+ in stock.

Luckily I already have one but it took me about an hour or two to find a Wii but it wasn't in my area I had to go to other places. I don't think you'll find anything dude it's Christmas Eve, if you did it you are a very lucky person.

Not for the last few months, have seen signs of being sold out at quite a few stores. As many people have said, you're going to have a hard time finding one this last for Christmas.

If you want a Wii this Christmas, you're going to have to be willing to pay $100+ more than the store price. Where can you buy one? Try Craigslist. At this point, that's your only option. Stores will be sold out, it'll take too long for shipping if you go with eBay, so Craigslist is the way to go. Make sure it's someone in your area close by, and meet up in a safe location where people can clearly see you (so that he/she won't rob you), such as a coffee shop or whatever.

That's about all you've got left.

Wii's seem to be available where i live in New Hampshire. They are not on the shelves at bestbuy, but if you ask them, they always have them in the back. I just came from a toysrus a few minutes ago, they had several on hand and stocked on the shelves. But try to find a Wii Fit.....no

The wiis are hard to find in every area but Nintendo will make a bunch so everyone can have one for the holidays.

He wanted to get one for Christmas. Now it's too late, so stop posting in this thread.
