To help assuage consumers' complaints that they can't find a Wii, Nintendo announced this morning that they will begin a 'Wii Raincheck' program. If you pay in full for a Wii before Christmas, you can get a raincheck that you'll be able to redeem for a Wii in January.
Fils-Aime said that the program will be run entirely through retailer GameStop, who he says has "many tens of thousands" of certificates.
The program, says Fils-Aime, is for people who want "something to put under the tree."
7 Million Wii's sold this Christmas....?

If they sell 1 million and presell a ton more that could put them Waaaay past 360 in 2007 (aka 1 year bragging rights)

A piece of paper that says "claim your Wii in a month" still isn't a great gift, and will turn some people off.
