Where Are All Of The Nintendo Wiis?

Posted on by

Can someone explain to me where all of the Nintendo Wiis are? I’ve been trying to get one since it was originally released way back in 2006. I actually stood in line at a local EB Games where I was 2 spots behind the cutoff mark. It has now been 8 months, and I have only seen a Wii in stock once and that was at the Super Target about 6 weeks ago.

So, where are they? According to the Wii Wikipedia entry, as of June 2, 2007, Nintendo has sold over 3,121,280 Wiis in the North American market alone and 8.2 million worldwide. Where are these things being sold at? Are the kids on summer vacation running to EB, GameStop, Target, Wal+Mart, Toys R Us, and every other store under the sun and buying the Wiis up to sell on EBay? It’s possible with 2200+ auctions up on the board.

You’d think though with the number of retail stores around the Knoxville area that the chances of grabbing a Wii would still be pretty good. Apparently not. The ninja looters have them all.

Racked Up At Circuit City

A few days ago, LinuXProX posted to OCC’s Hot Deals page about Circuit City having a July 3rd sale that included 250-ish console games for about $9.99 each.

Farrah and I headed over there later in the day and picked up six PlayStation 2 and GameCube games. Some pretty nice titles and only cost us about $69.00. Here is what we picked up:

  • World Tour Soccer 2005 (PS2)
  • NHL 2005 (PS2)
  • MVP Baseball 2004 (PS2)
  • NBA Jam (PS2) –Old School–
  • SRS: Street Racing Syndicate (GC)
  • Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (GC)

I had been wanting some more sports games, and now I’ve got them. :p
