[QUOTE="redban2"]i've been looking since november....thing is impossible to find. I don't even bother to call anymore. I'm just gonna wait it out. When May comes, then I'll begin looking hard again. No way will I camp out or wake up at 6:00 AM just to get a system.OceanLeet

If it's still selling out in May, that would be REALLY freaky.  I've never heard of a console selling out all the way through March.  If this continues, which seems to be the case, we may not start seeing extra Wiis on shelves until July.

well nintendo stated that they will increase Wii supply in april, if it's true that it will sell out then i can see it hitting 10 mil in june :?

The Wii was an elaborate hoax and really doesn't exist.

After having kicked around the idea for a while, I decided on getting one.  I figured $250 plus the VC and a steady release of good Wii games will keep me entertained until the PS3 is damn near free (lol).  Well, I went to Wal-Mart.  They're sold out.  I then went to Circuit City.  They're sold out.  I went to Target.  They're sold out.  I went to FYE.  They're sold out.  I went to EBgames.  They're sold out.  I went to Sam's Club.  They're sold out.  I talked with employees at EB and CC and they both said that they sell out of Wiis within hours of getting them.
This is insane.  It's 4 going on 5 months since release and it's still selling out.  I didn't really think the demand was THAT high until I saw so for myself.  PS3s were readily available and sitting bored in each of the stores.  From the other customers I overheard, some people were talking about 360 games while other people were talking about the Wii and it's games.  Then there were the usual people looking over PS2 games.  There was no talk at all of the PS3.
Just my observations today.

It's not about me buying the system.  It's about my inability to find the thing because of the demand.

I was gonna buy one as my second system after Christmas, but I STILL can't find one. i don't understand why Nintendo doesn't meet the demand. JDW_games
Because the demand is massive, Nintendo has shipped almost 6 million and they still sell out

There's even been a movie about a guy who decided to buy a Wii:

Woah! My latin teacher showed us that movie a while ago.

SMG, SSBB, RE:UC, Sadness, MP3, and quite a few others are all slated to come out between now and December.  As for right this moment, Zelda is pretty much it.

our town just recently evolved from a Walmart to a Super Walmart and I went to check out the grand opening at 7:00 last monday. I came about 5 minutes after they opened and went to the very large electronic secion...no Wii's and 12 PS3's! I laughed and thought about getting a PS3, then I remembered I only had 200 bucks to spend... then cried...
