I remember everyone saying...

[vetech_61]

People actually listen to other people from the internet?
I camped out, had some fun, and got a Wii on launch day no problem.

 

[dru s]

[No message]

 

[narjy]

that's unpossible

 

[gary_lombardo]

i was gonna post the same thing.

 

[Juztyn]

The US has 300,000,000 people.

There were only 600,000 units at launch.

 

[UJJ]

yeah, i'm kicking myself for listening to everyone

 

[raith]

well, after searching stores for a couple of weeks (3-8 stores a day), i was convinced that nintendo hadn't sent out nearly as many as they said they did

the problem was the stores that were holding onto them until a specific day

i finally got my wii this sunday after waiting an hour and a half in front of target, 6 out of 27!

 

[ram_instrotech]

Not around here, I walked into toys r us the other day and they had two full racks of them.

 

[armagedion]

Exactly. They're going to deliver on EXACTLY what they said they were going to do, which is 2 million units in North America by the end of the year.

 

[RoCkIn Red HeAd!!!]

Yeah, I didn't listen either....got there 4.5 hours early, got spot 20 of 20 in line.

 

[Clint C.]

Wii are harder to find thatn PS3's

 

[maya gold]

But the population of people actually trying to get one (scalpers and gamers) is much less...

 

[Maultet]

In stock...I just bought one a couple hours ago.

[sabinemat]

Irregardless.

Let's say its 90,000,000/600,000

You still are looking at a BLEAK number.

 

[DiscGolferPro]

It will show if it's not in stock? I need one more controller and one more Chuck. Then I will have 4

 

[Marlene M]

Oh I thought you meant 300,000,000 units.
Either way there is no way everyone in the US wants a Wii though.

 

[reeka]

i want Wii now, damnit hate waiting. gonna camp for sunday release

 

[qtusa]

If it's in stock, it will say "Usually Ships Within 24 Hours." If it's not in stock, it will either not show up, or say "Backordered.", or "Pre-Release Ships ??/??/??."

 

[beachbabe x]

I don't.

 

[smillas]

all this camping out after launch is bullshit, why dont the companies just make a shitton and have them available, they would be better off having 10 million ready to go for the holidays rather than this shit
