gekko Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 I clicked the link and it was still there but by the time I'd emailed my Wii-hunting friend to tell him, it'd gone.
Mikey Posted April 17, 2007 Author Posted April 17, 2007 I still don't have a Wii myself. Buying a new PC first. I don't mind waiting a while.
UziT Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 I still don't have a Wii myself. Buying a new PC first. I don't mind waiting a while. Me too =( I have ordered mine from HMV, they had 12 in stock yesterday (Birmingham) they said we get them like every 2weeks or so...
raven_blade2006 Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 At least the supply issues have eased somewhat. More stock keeps coming in, and then it sells out fast. What more could you want?
Cube Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Can someone change the thread name to "Wii Stock Update Thread" It sounds like its for downloadable firmware updates ATM.

Atomic Boo Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 I don't think it matters THAT much. It doesnt if you have a wii, but if you dont then its a pain in the arse.
Mayjest Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 The whole thing about GAME selling only in bundles is nonsense. All you have to do is ask for one Wii. If they push a bundle on you, say "No thanks, just the Wii." It's what I did for mine, and my DS. Well, actually, I renegotiated the DS bundle and got the 2 games package, but I got to pick the games. But still, they cannot force you to buy something you don't want. They can refuse to serve you full stop (on the grounds that the person behind you in the queue is prepared to pay it) but they can't force you to pay more than you're prepared to do. Just don't buy from the website.
gaggle64 Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 I was standing in my local Game earlier and I overheard one of cashier monkeys having to tell a calling customer they were still entirely out of stock. Doesn't Nintendo know how much money they could be making?
ShadowV7 Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Woah,i'm surprised they're selling out so fast this late,I mean I knew there was shortages but not this bad. They should ramp up the production by a bit more,still shortages all over the place.

ShavenWolf Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 I work at Tesco on the home entertainment department and we get Wiis in every couple of weeks. And when we do we only get 1 at a time. And, going from yesterday's example, it sells in less than 2 hours. We're only a 'standard' Tesco, but I still think it's stupid that we bother stocking them to be honest...
Owen Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 We're getting like 2 at Argos every week, one last week mind. Not very good. So many PS3's we had to transfer most of our stock to another store because we couldn't fit them all in our one. I think it's pretty obvious Nintendo are holding aload back for the busier season later this year. Which is a good idea thinking about it now... Say Mario Galaxy comes out, and theres no Wii's availible? Terrible mistake.
Mikey Posted April 22, 2007 Author Posted April 22, 2007 I think they're holding them back too.. It's very annoying.
DCK Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 I think it's pretty obvious Nintendo are holding aload back for the busier season later this year. Which is a good idea thinking about it now...Nintendo's business target was to ship 6 million Wiis by March 31st... They sold a little more than that. The Wii's success is too much for Nintendo at the moment. Hope they're opening more factories now, and hopefully the crazy demand will settle a bit in Summer.

Excelle Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 If UK people aren't already sitting on the site 24-7, go to http://www.wii-consoles.co.uk. They even have a facility that will pop up a window when there are Wiis in stock! I will be trying to purchase my Wii over the next few weeks now, I finally have the funds available!

Ashley Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 Game stores got them in today. Check very early tomorrow (ie 8.30 if they open at 9) and they may still have more left.
