How to find a Nintendo Wii at a store?

Question

Every place we look or call is all out of the Wii game systems. They state that they only get about 6 of them in a week and they are sold within minutes. Why is it a billion dollar company like Nintendo can't produce enough of these gaming systems to meet the demand? Is it all just a big scam or what? Any suggestions? Not interested in buying one off e-bay for twice what you pay in the store.

Answer 1

call your near by target or walmart every friday and saterday in the morning and ask if they have any in stock. thats what i did to get mine....

Answer 2

Do not call the stores, they sometimes LIE about the Wii stock. They do this to avoid any complications, because of the "first come first serve" policy.

I called walmart at 1 am and a woman named Shuntaye told me that they were sold out. I called my friend next and he said that he was in walmart staring at 5 boxes of Wiis at that moment. I went and confronted Shuntaye, and she just rudely ignored me. I still got my Wii though :D

Between 1 am and 4 am, they sold all 5 Wiis. Crazy huh? Early bird gets the worm.

Answer 3

Try to get to the store at least a couple of hours before the store opens. This is pretty much the only way that can guarantee your success in snatching a Wii.

Good luck!

Hiya,

you can purchase a Nintendo Wii thru any trusted 3rd party seller directly at Amazon. They have good feedback, deliver on time, mostly are merchants themselves simply and Amazon operates as the platform, in fact the purchase is processed directly via Amazon as you would usually buy from them.

You might check it out at

and then click on "See all buying options" at the right.

This is actually currently the best choice to get your hands on a Wii at all - without any hassles.
