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.

Who would have guessed over a year later that the Wii would still be outselling every other system AND still be in a shortage?
