Gamestop: $200 Wii with Gamecube trade-in

Seems odd that the hottest game console in the universe needs a trade-in offer to move units.

I expected a big drop off after Xmas, being the demographic it is targetted at. But, this is surprising.

Yes. They are. At least in Japan anyway, and it looks like here in the states too...

Still don't see any Wii units around here. Even accessories are still scarce.

There was a blog of a guy who claims that half an hour of wii play a day for 6 weeks took off 9 pounds.... I believe it!
