Wii sold out already

Wii sold out already

According to a report by the Associated Press, Wii has sold out in retail outlets across the US.

Despite the large demand and fast sales the release went smoothly. This is contrast to the PS3's launch which saw police stepping in to maintain order over crowds of angry retards at several stores around the US.

That's so sweet! Just thinking about it gives me a good prediction that it's going to be available by Christmas.

Shows you the maturity and greed of the sony crowd. Just kidding, that's quite a broad statement but it is sad what took place at the PS3 launch. By the way, the Wii is fabulous and I can't wait to see what developers do with its controls.

Wii launched last yet is already userbase number 2. We'll have your place x360 by early 2007 and by Christmas 07 Wii shall dominate.

Hahaha, "angry retards". That's all Sony fanboys will ever be. Anyways, I'm glad to see that the release went smoothly and Nintendo sold out like I knew it was going to. Now all we have to look forward to is how great the Christmas launch is going to be.

I know! This stinks, I can't find a Wii anywhere! But there is hope, I called some stores and asked when they were going to get a new shipment, they said in time for Christmas (hopefully).

Could you imagine paying a gazillion dollars for ps3, sitting at home with your prehistoric control pad and Commodore 64 tapedeck like load times, hearing some giggles looking into your neighbours window and seeing all the Wii fun going on. Talk about the penny dropping ha ha, that's when the embarrassment will hit the sony goons.

I was #25 out of 26 available at Toys R Us in Buffalo, with only a 2 1/2 hour wait. What a feeling. Haven't even broken out Zelda yet. 5 hours of playing the sports pack. Amazing physics in this thing.

This sucks, I was hoping to get my Wii soon. Guess I'll have to wait until Christmas when the new shipments come in.

Anyone notice the Wii looks like an SD memory card? With one flat corner and 3 pointed ones. Just thought I'd point that out.

Let me just say that I own my Wii and they are worth the wait SO MUCH FUN how did I get one? It helps to work at gamestop where they let us know ahead of time when preorders take place.

Well, I saw two in a game store in Washington but that was one day after release. Yesterday however, yeah, pretty much a clean shave at Fred Meyer with no consoles and only a few games and controllers!

I live in a tiny little town with a 60 year old movie theater. We don't even have a wal-mart. Yet our local PAMIDA(!) had wii's in stock. That just shows how many Nintendo was able to ship out. Our Pamida is notorious for not having anything even remotely (lol bad pun :p) interesting. However they got a shipment of Wiis. Amazing huh? Go big N! Oh yeah and I have to wait until January to get a Wii.

At first I thought meh, but I'm definitely getting one now. If I can find one.

Our town of 3000 people got two in at our local pamida (no walmart) and I got one yay! Best damn thing I've played ever, can't wait to see some of the games and ideas to incorporate the new controls.

You guys are lucky, up here (Canada) there's nothing, after like 2 hours every Wii and controller was gone. Now I'm gonna have to skip class to go line up at best buy.

Good luck Skax. Oh by the way any Canadians who live in the Vancouver BC area, I recommend trying willow video in willowbrook. They always have new systems ready for the sale.

I'm not that surprised. Except for the fact I actually got one!

I have been looking at the Wii for over 2 years now and I woke up on November 19 (the release date) at 3:00 in the morning and there were about 500 people waiting at 9 of my stores! I am so mad! Ever since that day I have been calling each store and asking if they have them. And if they do I race up to the store to find that there are already 100 people and only 8 wiis coming in! Aaa!
