Is the Wii really that hard to find?

People should try harder if they want it so bad.

i haven't been actively searching for wii's since last x-mas season, but i'm pretty sure the wii is not in stock at most major retailers. if they do have them they're sold almost immediately upon hitting the display.

wii opinion

while the wii is inferior by certain standards such as PQ and other functions that the ps3 and xbox 360, the wii is by far the number one choice by children 10 and under. my kid plays the wii more than the ps3, come to think about it i'm the only one that really plays the ps3 for games.

every single kid in his class at school has a wii. nintendo has done an amazing job at marketing and building a platform to compete with sony and microsoft and that's the bottom line regardless of features on the console.

wasn't there a report out there saying the nintendo was purposely sending more Wii unit to europe because the currency was stronger than the u.s. at the moment. but eventually, (maybe the summer) the wii will be easy to find. thank God i got mine the day it come out. and yes, it is worth it. brawl is insane and mario kart is coming out soon

also, it is hard to find around my area. the target i shop at has had the out of stock sign for months now. it's tearing apart.

Same here in Michigan.

If you don't stand in line at store the day they have them, you're not getting one.

I have seen wii's in the wild twice, both times I was standing in line to buy something else at best buy when they were rolled out and attacked by the vultures. I'm in and out of best buy and target all the time and have never seen one sitting around. Then again, I don't typically make it to stores early in the day when they are likely to be put out.

Personally, I got my wii in Nov 2006 and have been fairly pleased with it, it fulfills its purpose quite well and is certainly a nice compliment to an "hd" system. I'm just thankful that I'm in a position to get have both an hd system and a wii, as I would no doubt be unsatisfied by having only one.

Have never seen one in stores, just the accessories.

I've seen one of the employees at GameStop playing FIFA on the Wii. I mean why, he's got a job to do.

Unless you still want to wait in line on sunday morning outside of BB,CC, or wal-mart before they open you will not find one.
