The Wii is once again going to be one of the scarcest gifts this holiday season. The CEO of GameStop, Dan DeMatteo confirmed in an interview with GameDaily BIZ that Nintendo’s Wii output still isn’t high enough to satisfy consumers. Even though Nintendo’s Wii production has been raised by 20%, and as many as 300,000 Wiis could be sold each month, there will still be many broken hearts when the holidays come.
Yahoo! Video Games offers three valuable suggestings to Wii shoppers this season. The first is to check eBay or Craigslist, and be willing to either accept a used system or pay a premium price. The second suggestion is to be at the stores when they open and hope for the best. The final suggestion is to use a tracking website like Wiitracker to try and find out which stores are going to have Wiis.
Here are two extra tips - check unusual locations and team up. Stop by your local K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Pamida or ShopKo. Or, if you’re within an hour of a small town, take a road trip and check out that town’s stores. You never know, sometimes the smaller town stores or more general stores will have consoles in stock. You may also want to check out gaming message boards to team up with other Wii searchers to find consoles.
