As Reggie Fils-Aime, the president of Nintendo of America stated to Wired.com, in average every Wii console that makes its way into a shop is sold after one hour!
One hour only and each single Wii unit has left the store!
Fils-Aime admits that they "are passionately upset about the lack of product relative to demand" - so are the potential buyers that still have a hard time getting hold of a Wii 17 months after the release in the US.
As he pointed out further Nintendo produces 1.8 million Wii consoles every month.
About 40% of them are shipped to North America.
These numbers are huge but it can't be denied that Nintendos ability to miss great opportunities is outstanding.
Nintendo is in the situation every company is dreaming of: owning a product that people are crazy about and that sells like nothing else.
And they don't take care to get their potential customers satisfied.
This is even worse because the Wii is available in Europe without many problems although the demand is high.
So the question still is the same: "Where to buy a Wii?"This game is long awaited and is expected to climb the way up in the games bestsellers list really fast: Mario Kart Wii
Mario Kart Wii can be ordered now at Amazon with the Wii Wheel that will give players even more fun with this game included.
Some of the features of Mario Kart Wii according to Amazon:
- The Wii Wheel transforms the Wii Remote™ controller into a steering wheel that feels natural in anyone's hands
- Players can race as their favorite Nintendo character, or even as themselves! Mario Kart Wii lets players race with their personalized Mii™ characters. And racers will see other Mii characters they have created cheering from the sidelines on some race courses.
- Players can compete with up to three friends in their living room. Or challenge up to 11 opponents via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in the biggest Mario Kart race yet. All tracks and modes of play are available via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, and players can visit the Mario Kart Channel to compete in tournaments, check rankings, see when their friends are playing and download ghost data.
- Cruise new tracks and arenas or tour classic courses from Super Mario Kart™, Mario Kart® 64, Mario Kart®: Super Circuit™, Mario Kart®: Double Dash!!™ and Mario Kart® DS. Tired of riding on four wheels? Bust out one of the new motorbikes for special tricks and techniques.
