Nintendo Gaming / RE: No Wii at Best Buy... or anywhere!

Best Buy in my area expressly told me no Wii on Sunday -- they come in by UPS and not for their ad.  Also, BestBuy.com isn't selling the hardware, it says that due to limited stock, it is not offered at this time.

Darnit.

Nintendo Gaming / No Wii at Best Buy... or anywhere!

« on: January 09, 2007, 05:42:55 PM »

I have been trying in vain to find a Wii for myself since Christmas.  My fiancee and I received over $550 in Best Buy bucks for Christmas from various family members, and we really want to blow it on a Wii.  However, though I call my four closest Best Buy at the appropriate times tuned to their UPS shipments, we have had no luck.

They have not gotten any in since Christmas except for one store.  Three of the locations do not even show them as "On Order."  I know they are not lying to me; I used to work for one of the stores and they showed me the screens that show a line of zeros for both the in stock and on order columns.

I am not trying to whine about 'poor me, can't spend my money,' but isn't Nintendo supposed to have made more than enough of these?  I thought I read they had a more than adequate supply for the holidays (which, in my opinion includes January: the month of returns and gift card purchases).  Can someone enlighten me?

By the way, I've been reading these forums for over a year and a half, I have no idea why I haven't made a login until now...
