While the PlayStation 3 is now readily available in the UK, it appears that those searching for a Wii may have to wait a little longer for that luxury. Nintendo is still shipping them as fast as they make them, but the demand is just simply out-pacing production.
A Nintendo spokesperson told GameSpot that the company has indeed been making regular shipments of the console since its launch, although he declined to give figures. He said, “It is still very much the case that regular shipments of Wii are being made to retailers across the UK and have been since launch. It’s simply a fact that demand remains incredibly high for Wii with some retailers reporting higher interest now than at launch. Every unit we make right now is selling.”
He urged those wishing to buy a Wii to “not give up” and to try using sites such as Yahoo, which have search functions to check stock levels at a variety of stores.
