[Insert Wii Joke Here]



Oh, I know! Wii wiish you a merry christmas! How's that?
Unfortunately for Nintendo fans who have yet to get a Wii, obtaining one this holiday season is going to be a tricky task. Unless of course you're willing to use the Ebay.
Why? Because of high demand for Wii's this past summer, a time when game sales and demand generally decrease for several months. Had this been the case for the Wii, it would have accumulated over the summer to prepare Nintendo for this christmas.
So just how many Wii's are being made? 1.8 million a month. Last week saw 350,ooo Wii's sold in the U.S. alone. The demand for the Wii, unlike Xbox 360 and PS3, extends to all age groups, rather than kids and young adults.
So if you're planning on getting the kids or even the grandparents a Wii, better shop early, and even then you may be stuck using the Ebay.
