Supply and demand. People still want them, they're still making it. They can't make them like super fast so yeah :P. I got mine from Nintendo about a week after launch, so I wouldn't really know too much about how much there is left in each store. Last time I went to Best Buy and they had a huge ol' Pyramid of them. I also helped a guy with what game the guy should get and I think the employee got really pissed about that :lol:. Yeah, if you live in Washington state, I can maybe hook you up with a Wii :P.

well i sure do.i mean i wireless controller to move your star fighter like sixaxs,but something to aim or position your gun? how about playing gold or baseball,what about swinging swords. the Wii could make you feel like you were in the game.not graphic wise.but gameplay wise.Nintendo cleary though the Wii would be big. And im pretty sure im not the only one that knows that.

Well, the wii is being used by every army in the world to train aiming. That's why:
a) Wiis are scarce.
b) Armies suck.
c) You created this topic.

Id have to agree with the supply and demand theory, the Wii is quite popular and hard to find.

It's hard to supply Wiis to all the kids, teens, young men, soccer moms, old people, cats, etc.

Wii's are friggin easier to find then PS3 since they don't sell as well around here for some reason. Maybe I should buy wiis send em to my american friend to sell on the street and ebay then we can split the profits......

oh the ideas are forming. Maybe I should wait till december to do this so till then I could stockpile about 5-10 of the things.....

I've never walked through a Wal-Mart of Target without seeing at least one Wii. Maybe you're looking in the wrong places.

Yeah, he lives in Oregon. Last time I went there, was when it was launched, omg there were so many people there lol. IDK, Oregon is only a few hours away from me. I live about 20 minutes from NOA. That's where I got my Wii btw, but yeah, where's the factory that they make them in? Is it up here in Washington? Is that why there's always like at least 5-10 Wiis wherever I go? -_-'.
