Find Nintendo Wii

Welcome to the Find Wii blog. With Christmas almost upon us, perhaps the most sought after gift this holiday season which is also hard to find is the Nintendo Wii games console. The Wii was always in short supply, but few expected that availability would be so affected as it is now. This blog has been set up in order to help you find the elusive Wii in time for Christmas.

Be warned, however. Prices have already skyrocketed with online sites such as Ebay offering deals over the odds, but which can’t be missed. Although some news reports say that this might be good news for Sony and Microsoft, the fact is that the Wii’s unique and innovative control unit entices many.

As the holiday shopping season heats up this week, the hopes of many video-game-greedy kids may be dashed as shortages of Nintendo’s Wii force parents to turn to other gaming consoles, such as the PlayStation 3 or the Xbox 360, to fill the gap, analysts say.

Shortages of the Wii, Nintendo’s latest video game juggernaut and currently the best-selling console in the nation, are nothing new. When the game debuted in 2006, many early adopters of the console were greeted with empty store shelves. This year, leadership at Nintendo, including Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime, has told reporters repeatedly that once again it’s unlikely the company will be able to meet demand for the Wii this shopping season.

The company has ramped up production to try to stem the shortfall, according to Perrin Kaplan, vice president of marketing and corporate affairs at Nintendo of America.

Kaplan urged customers to to wait for extra consoles to hit the retail shelves.

“Those who haven’t been able to find it — just hang in there. We’re moving stuff into retail as fast as we can.”

Over the coming days and weeks, this blog hopes to help its readers find available units, and for those fortunate enough to have a Nintendo Wii already, we’ll probably point you in the direction of the best accessories and games available as well. Meanwhile, Wiispin also has more on the Great Holiday Wii Shortage.
