Wii Availability

Wii availability is the number one issue for gamers that want to get hold of the revolutionary gaming console from Nintendo.
The console was released in late 2006 but in many areas the situation has not changed very much.
The stores are out of stock or sold out within minutes whenever a new shipment arrives... leaving a long row of people that once more were not able to get their own Wii.
Of course, it all depends where you live. Maybe you are located in an area where Wii availability is no problem but the majority of people isn't that lucky.

Wii Availability is also a national issue. While there are countries where the Wii can be found without problems it is almost impossible to buy a Wii in others. In most areas of the US the stores are empty, just like in the UK - but in several European countries like Germany the Wii is available with ease. For UK buyers it could be a way to order the console at German shops that will ship to the UK also. Unfortunately because of the different standards between the US and Europe this is not possible for American buyers.

While Nintendo is producing and shipping new units continuously and has risen their production output just a short time ago the company had to admit that not everybody might get a Wii before the holiday season.

So if you are not willing to travel the country to find one of the rare stores that has Wii availability - or more likely to find out that they sold the last unit just before you entered the door - the best way to get a wii is to go online.

Of course it is an idea to check the sites that do Wii tracking. They will tell you when and where Wii availability is given. The downside is you have to be really fast to reach the store or to order immediately in an online store because a lot of other people will try to get it from the same source.

There are other places on the internet where you can find the Nintendo Wii most of the time.

Wii Availability on Amazon

Amazon is selling not only books but also a wide range of additional products including video games and gaming consoles like the Nintendo Wii.
Due to their system of third party retailers you will find several Wii consoles available most of the time even if they are not in stock at Amazon itself. You can find both new and used Wii consoles.
You should always check the retailer by reviewing the ratings of former buyers.
If you buy at Amazon you have the benefit of the Amazon buyers protection that assures that you order is processed secure and you are safe of online fraud. Of course also all orders from Amazons third party sellers are included in the buyers protection.

Wii Availability on Ebay

Another source for Wii availability is Ebay. You will find a lot of auctions listed even when other stores are sold out.
Also on Ebay always check the feedback of the seller. Look for a positive rating of at least 99% so you can be quite sure that the seller is trustworthy.
Like on Amazon you have a buyers protection for any purchase you make also from Ebay.
You should also search for misspelled listings. Chances are that you might get a Wii for a much better price because less people have found an auction that was not listed properly.

Wii Availability and Wii Prices

Wii Availability is low and the demand is high. Like for any other good that is strongly requested the prices are rising. Currently the situation is difficult - you can find the Wii but sellers can charge more than the official price.
You have to decide if you are willing to take higher prices in order to get a Wii fast or if you prefer to wait until Wii availability is better.

Wii Games

There is a wide range of games for the Wii available allready and new games are released all the time so Wii availability may be low but you can get the games without probems most of the times.
Nevertheless it is recommended to buy as soon as possible because the holiday season is quite near and there might be bottlenecks.
Check out the Amazon Games Store where you can find all the games for the Wii.

We hope you will find your Wii soon without problems. For more information take a look here at the blog where new information on Wii availability will be added frequently.
