Retailers don’t see an end to Wii supply drought

Gamasutra has a Guitar Hero II article up, in which they briefly mention the Wii’s scarcity at the end. An update to the article contains a little bit more information regarding findings in the wild. I liked the following quote; it seemed to sum up the demand for the Wii quite humorously.

“We were told by 5 GameStops that they expected to receive orders this week,” said Kreher, adding that the stock problems couldn’t be narrowed specifically to either high demand or short supply. “Most of the outlets we talked to explained that they go extremely fast once they are received — people even follow the delivery trucks to the stores.”
