So, were you able to buy Nintendo Wii Console over the Christmas season? For many, it was next to impossible to buy Nintendo Wii Console for retail. Many ended up paying $300-$400 more for their nintendo wii console. How long will it last? Last year at Christmas the Wii was supposed to be available in February, but yet a year later it was still sold out. This held true for this Christmas, and who knows how long it will be before you can buy Nintendo Wii in stores. Maybe we are in for a long wait again, but hopefully they will be on the shelves soon.
