How Popular Is The Wii?

tone — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 14:44:21 +0000

Look back at the amazing race the Nintendo Wii has had with it’s competitors the Play Station 3 and Xbox 360. No question Nintendo played the game on their terms, differentiating themselves from other next gen consoles by being the ‘other’ system. However, as time has worn on it looks like Nintendo is ‘THE’ system to have in any living room worldwide.

Yesterday we reported how Amazon announced that 17 Wii’s were sold every second on the popular eTail store. Now reports are surfacing that ‘Wii’ is the number one searched for item on Ebay and has been since Christmas on Tuesday. So what will 2008 hold for this still sought after item? I think we have a lot to look forward to, namely more quality games from Nintendo and MORE third party titles worth picking up.

So, get a Wii while you can, because this popular train isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

Amazon Wii Madness

tone — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 18:54:24 +0000

The Wii’s were selling like hot cakes this year, which is no news to anyone, but the rate at which they were coming off the virtual shelves was dizzying. Amazon.com, a popular online store (which buy-wii.net affiliates for) reported selling 17 Wii’s per second. Take another look at that, it’s not 1 Wii every 17 seconds, it’s 17 Wii’s every 1 Second!!!!

Also, if you were a customer of Amazon this holiday season you were able to take full advantage of their guaranteed before Christmas delivery. Orders placed as late as December 23 had their products arrive on Christmas day.

Popular gaming store GameStop has announced that they will be offering rain checks on Friday, which will guarantee you a Wii for $250 before January 25, 08. Be warned, this is a Friday only promotion and there WILL BE a limited supply of the rain checks. But, if you are looking for a brick’n mortar solution to your Wii shortage this may be your best bet for the Holidays.

Tis better to receive a Wii rain check under the Christmas Tree then nothing with Wii on it.

Wii Supply and Demand

You don’t have to be an industry analyst to know that supply of the Nintendo Wii console cannot keep up with the demand, especially approaching Christmas. However, Michael Patcher, an industry professional feels that it will be sometime in April before Nintendo can even out the supply to put Wii’s on the shelf after the holiday rush.

He did, however, state that despite the lack of stock, Nintendo will top Christmas sales with Wii, predicting the company to sell 1.7 million consoles over the Christmas period, while he expects Microsoft to sell 1.5 million 360s and Sony to flog 800,000 PS3s.

Another reason to buy that Nintendo Wii online or pretty much anywhere you can find one. Although you will be paying a premium, or finders fee, it’s still a small price to pay for the hottest gift of the past 2 years.
