That's amazing. Maybe there are some real Wii shortages over the ditch.

lol, if theres major shortages in the U.S. and UK, then it's probably the same or worse in NZ

Or.... it might just be selling bad there?

unfortunately i think there just selling bad here, we have plenty of stock, could probly go around town right now and purchace at least 500 of them from different stores, makes it hard to imagine the shortage in US and UK

Maybe everyone lives in cardboard boxes that wouldn't explain why the cheapest consoles doing the worst though

im thinking its just cuz where a lazy nation, i mean who wants a game console that you have to move to play and take time to learn and adjust to controlls, PS3 and xbox, ect are just pick up and play. lol but thats just us kiwis, however i much prefer the Wii, but i guess id have a PS3 if i could afford it.

why do i think this is just made up B.S (500 wiis).....there is no country at the moment where wii is just that easy to find except maybe japan.

Almo · 04-20-2007, 02:06 AM

yeah it was an over statement but the point was if we wanted one we can get it withiut a problem

heres a short list of places that sell Wiis here (and theres heaps missing)
noel leaming
dicksmith
harvey norman
barrels 100%
hubands
the warehouse
bond and bond
EB games

now i expect each of them to have say at least 10 in stock so that at least 80, and thats just my small town not the whole country.
