1400 Wiis sold out in 10 minutes on Amazon
Category: Wii, Posted: 11/25/2007 at 01:00PM CST by Brendon Lindsey, Editor-in-Chief
I don't know how, but the Nintendo Wii continues to sell out like it's still launch day. Last week Amazon unleashed their next batch of Wii stock for some early holiday shoppers, and they sold out. Fast. 1,400 Wiis in ten minutes fast.
With Christmas fast approaching, things don't look like they'll get any better. Nintendo is shipping almost 2 million Wiis a month, but many people still can't find one since launch.
Meanwhile, if anyone's looking for a Wii, the stores near Portland, OR always seem to be swarming with them. Maybe they're keeping all the extras in the Pacific Northwest since it's cheaper to ship from Seattle to Portland? (Or maybe it's because the Northwest is Microsoft Country?)

Ten minutes?! Whoa!! Nintendo's on their way to creating a massive zombie-cult following that if left unsupervised, could turn the world into a real-to-life Raccoon City in a matter of... Ten minutes.
I really want someone to do a massive study on the people who have bought Wiis and see how often they play them after purchase. Most people I know played a month or so then let it gather dust.
i got mine a year ago :P
Well I can tell you I certainly still play mine on a regular basis ^_^
yeah same here brendon mate
Yes my children and I play at least once a week. Coming up on almost a year now!
definitly played quite a bit
