I've recently decided I want to get a nintendo Wii. Why are they still so hard to find?

Question

I'm having a hard time finding a Wii. I don't understand why people can't get them. I mean - why don't they just make more???

Answer 1

They have been hard to find for several years now. I have been trying with no luck. I had a friend who was on a waiting list. She did eventually get hers but she told me she had been on the list for 6-8 months. I think the game is soo popular it is hard to meet the demand. Good luck to you on getiing one.

Answer 2

I got mine in Target so you could try there. They're still hard to find because they are still very popular and not as expensive as a ps3 or some fancy xbox360.

Answer 3

i dont know why your having this problem i found my wii very easy like a year ago.

Answer 4

i dont know!!! i've been trying to get one since christmas!!! lol i just got one last month, i guess they are just that amazing! lol try calling your local gamestop(S) religiously every day, they will tell you when they expect the next shipment in

Answer 5

they do make more. my brother went to wal-mart on opening day 3rd in line. i bet wal-mart will have one in the games section in the very back.

Answer 6

i got mine as a birthday present but the wii i got is from Wal-Mart. I recommend Best Buy they'll tell you details about tge wii, and more information. if you really don't care about that just go to Wal-Mart.

Other stores: Gamestop, Game Crazy, Game X Change, Circuit City, Sams Club (not kidding, there was one in my citys sams club), EBAY (do not recommend it), Amazon(do not recommend it), Toys R Us, Target, Mejier ( i think) and there's more try looking is up on Google. (wii's are amazing and a lot of fun to play so if you have any doubghts on getting one i recommend you getting one because with wii you don't sit on your lazy butt all day, you stand up and play, feels like your outside playing since you have to do movements)

Answer 7

dollar is low in usa so wii is greedy they only sell to europe because the eruro is high from what I hear? The price is cheap. No other system has the same low price so it's in demand

Answer 8

Its because they take to long to make and shıp but ıts been soo long sınce the last shıpment to any countrıe so they must of already made a mıllıon or more by now

Answer 9

i saw boxes of em in best buy yesterday

they had a demo of that wii mario kart game where the controller is embedded in a steering wheel! it's fun... ok byee

Answer 10

its hard to find because its the number 1 game system, i heard Microsoft is bringing the price of the xbox360 down, the cheapest will be 199 because they can't compete with wii.

you have a good chance of getting one at target, just ask them when they will have a new shipment and go that morning  

Answer 11

heck ya

Answer 12

I emailed nintendo and asked the same thing. they only trust certain companies to manufacture wii's which is why they arent on the shelves nearly as fast as the other systems. If they let more and more companies in on building the wii's, they would have more problems like the xbox did when it came out and would overheat exsessively and lots of other hardware failures, so they are taking the safe route and sticking to what works, so that there are not nearly as many problems.

Answer 13

Me and my sister had the same problem. We called Kmart, Toys R Us, Walmart and a bunch of other places... Finally when we called Walmart, they said they had just gotten a delivery of them or something, so we raced up to get one and finally we got the wii.  Just try calling places and see what they say.  

Answer 14

They only have one factory and cant keep up with the demand ,although some parts of the country have plenty other parts have none. You can check out these wii trackers to see who online has them in stock but most are selling only bundles.

Answer 15

Wiis were very popular, and kind of still are, but since about everyone has one, they are becoming yesterdays news. Try looking at game stop, target, best buy, walmart, or another store that sells electronics. I got one a few days after they came out.

Answer 16

buy it on eBay or another online site (Amazon?)

if you don't want to do that... call those places EVERY DAY, find out when they get shipments, etc. and you'll get one soon.
