I Now Own A Nintendo Wii
It’s rather funny. I went on a little rant this morning about never seeing a Wii in stock anywhere. Earlier today I went to Wal*Mart to pick up some stuff, and what did they have in stock? You guessed it, Nintendo Wiis.
So listen up Knoxville area, if you are looking for a Wii there are two Wal*Marts in the area that have them. Wal*Mart on Clinton Highway and the one in Oak Ridge. I’ve called the other area locations, and you won’t find them at any other Wal*Mart. Target, EBGames, and GameStop are also still out of stock.
The store in Oak Ridge has about a dozen available, or at least they did while I was there.
Where Are All Of The Nintendo Wiis?
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.
