It seemed like it was over back in June. I saw several systems in store.

Then *POOF!*. I haven't seen a Wii in stores since.

All I see anywhere are PS3 boxes stacked up in displays, but still to this day, I have not seen a single Wii on display since launch day, which has been 9 months already.

in the UK you can easily get them online but in bundles with some crappy game no-one wants, but in stores they are still a rare site.

The shortages are only going to get worse as the christmas rush looms.

It's the same deal here on the other side of the Atlantic. Well, except there are very occasionally decent bundles (eg. SPM+Zelda+Extra Wiimote &Nunchuk+Classic controller) .
