Some time back, there was an article on here saying the Wii was the top selling system between itself, the PS3, and the Xbox 36. Well, where I live, there are 4 different stores that sell it and every Sunday, they have an ad in the newspaper. Well, week after week after week after week, the Wii is NEVER in ANY of the ads! So, if it's never available, how are systems being sold?
I live in Brazil, Indiana... bet youve never heard of it. There are always Wii in stock the past month. This suprises me because we are a small town nowheresville. But maybe that is why there in stock. I figured nintendo just stepped it up.
I live just outside Atlantic City, NJ. I have never seen a wii in stock in any store except bundled with several games. I managed to get mine becuase I knew an employee who called me when they came in.
I had to wait 6 weeks in Melbourne Australia... then I gave up and bought one from eBay.
People here pay a deposit on the unit and wait for a month or more before it comes in, get a call, pay balance and take home new Wii before it makes the shelves.
It is outselling Playstation and xbox 3 to 1 here.
