Nintendo Wii’s are Impossible to Find
February 17th 2007 11:35
They are impossible to find, literally impossible, I don’t even see them around, just empty display boxes.
Dick Smith, a popular electronics retailer here in Australia (don’t laugh, they once sold a brand of matches they called ‘DICKHEAD’) which has over 130 stores in Australia have not a single Wii, well they do, they have two or less at one of their stores, that’s it.
One of the biggest electronic retailers in Australia has two or less in stock in the entire country, and no, they are not withholding stock. Australia isn’t exactly the worlds largest video game market, but damn well if you can sell out a console like this you know you’re doing something right.
At Electronic Boutique (now GameStop in America) I overheard the store manager responding to a customer about ‘Wii Points’ and if they were selling it, ‘technically we are, practically we sold out in half an hour last week’ (sic).
In other news they had plenty of Wii games in stock, lots of them, so at least you know if you can get that little white box you can at least choose from a large variety of Wii games.

Whatever happened to kicking the ball around outside?
And I still have my pack of unused Dickheads, by the way ;o)
