Rumors are abounding that many retailers are forcing the sale of Wii bundles as an only option to get a Wii this holiday. Because of the shortages major retailers are bundling systems with games and extra controllers to force a sale of twice the price of a Wii only. Reports are showing that stores such as Toys R Us are only selling bundles and refuse to sell a standalone Wii system.
On the home front, Nintendo is still claiming that they are doing everything they can to keep up with the demand, especially this close to Christmas. However, it’s a daunting task with Wii being the #1 seller in next-gen game consoles, almost the world over. Who would have guessed over a year later that the Wii would still be outselling every other system AND still be in a shortage?
