I got my Wii in January, and everywhere around where i live is selling out before they even get on the shelves. I had to wait a long damn time and i had to know the manager at Wal-mart to get my Wii. There are a few towns around us selling the same.

How are the Wiis selling around you?

Yeah i got mine in Feb. by waiting outside a Target. But if you didn't do that it is impossible to get one. My friend's family was promised one for Christmas and still hasn't gotten one!

In my city people are still calling in sick to work and camping out for Wii's.  I stood in line for 3 1/2 hours myself to pick one up.

it could be like that through summer, maybe longer unless nintendo produces a whole lot more, although they're already producing at capacity as it is.

Yeah Iv never seen a Wii in a store....nor do I have one.....really though its not a surprise....most new systems have a shortage for awhile.....you'll see by the end of summer or start of fall there'll be plenty of Wii's....thats how it was for the 360....I didn't get mine til last year.

It does suck though....I really want a Wii but I guess I'm in for more waiting.

For a few more months at least.  A week or so back Nintendo said that they were searching for more manufacturers.  Currently  Foxconn Precision Components is the only company manufacturing the Wii.

 

If they can get more manufacturers then they supply will greatly increase.

It's not so bad here in Toronto, just call the stores every now and then and ask. I know somone who worked at Future Shop and she told us when it was in Stock, my brother went early in the morning and surprisingly only about 5 people were there.(there was 20 Wiis)So Now I got my Wii and I like it ;D
