Until production methods advance to increase output (Industy's excuse), this will happen with new consoles

I work at Sears in the electronics dept and we don't get many at all. I am in an average sized store. We're a 3 out of 5. Since November we may have gotten 30 -something wii's. Our last shipment we got 7, and that was probably 3 weeks ago.

I got mine on launch from the best buy 200 yards away. They had 60 that morning, we had 2. Sears is gay and wouldn't let me buy one since i was an employee.

I thought it was more strange that CompUSA was selling Wiis considering how badly the business is doing. They have been closing stores left and right recently. From my best guess they will have closed over half of the stores by now with more to come.

Gamestation rules, Wiis flowing in all the time.

You pretty much just gotta get lucky to find one. My mom called a store at like 8 o'clock in the morning, and there were like 10 ppl in the store, and somehow they had one. She rushed up there, and they stillhad it.

Luck! Or patience, I pre-ordered mine (well after they came out) and a few days later, not long at all, they rang and said come and get it in 3 days or were selling it (obviously not as harshly), that afternoon I was in school so my mum went and collected it for me... Come to think of it, she was the one who went to the shop to pre-order it in the first place.
