Jasper Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 First, maybe there are already topics on this (it might have fitted in the European pre-order thread, but even so, it's not quite about that) - but please give me some answers before locking it down. All you guys working in retail, does any of you know the exact number of units you are receiving in your store? I know a couple of you work in gamestores, so tell me - do you have exact numbers? There are a lot of rumours going around (like only 10,000 units for the whole of the Netherlands), but if the stores don't have any numbers yet than the press is probably wrong. So tell me: any of you have numbers? And if you had to make a minimum-guess, what would it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blender Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 There are less than 100,000 for the uk according to Choicesuk.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 That's what I'm saying - who the hell is saying all those numbers? I'm asking people in-store, because there's no other way that gives an honest, non-disturbing or panic-creating number. Okay, it could be panic creating, but at least it would be somewhat correct...

Pyxis Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Gameplay are getting quite a few..they like to keep the figures secret though..its in the thousands, just like any other retailer I guess:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Because I'm thirtheenth on the list in Belgium's Game Mania and even though I want only one Wii, I'm not even sure right now that I'm getting one. Game Mania has sent out emails to the stores that they will try to fill the preorders as much as they can, any preorder placed after yesterday will get one after the 8th. I'm 13th out of 49 so if they do their best the chances are high I'm in; i'm just not sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyDluffy Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 the GAME i work in will be getting about 160-180, if I remember correctly these are just pre-orders, then any extras will go to the second phase of pre-order customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 We are definately getting the 53 pre-orders. Not sure about extras yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antster1983 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Numbers, numbers... all confusing. I'm starting to turn into the gremlin off the adult education advert! O.O All I know is that my local Gamestation are confident they will fill all pre-orders. Whether that's launch day or before Christmas I don't know.

ShadowV7 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Only 10,000! That sucks,if only there was more units available from the launch up to March.Hope future shipments will have a fair amount to try and meet the demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shino Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I've heard there's only 4000 for Spain, that has too be bullshit. Maybe the dude mixed Spain with Portugal as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 hmv are getting 8000 i believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 UK should be getting around a third of that 400,000 I would have thought. So that 100,000 may be accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 100k is not a lot of consoles. If it really is 100k then i am at my GAME store before it opens. That 100k will be eaten like (according to some random fact at the maths dept at my college) Kit-Kats, which apparently 47 is eaten in a second.

GigaPlay Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I'd imagine few will be shipped to Ireland. It'll probably be enough considering the small population. How many of those could be buying on launch day too. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubahood Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Do you guys remember last year about a week before 360 launch people managed to get hold of a list of all Asda and Tesco stores selling it and how many they were getting. Wonder if that will happen with Wii? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
