I called an GameStop near me on two separate days to confirm the Wiis they were advertising as “in-stock” weren’t overpriced bundles.
Turns out they weren’t. Then, I went to Target and found another batch of Wiis — none of them were bundles either. What’s going on here?!
There aren’t stacks and stacks of Wiis at retail, but it does appear you can start randomly walking into stores and having a decent chance of picking one up. Are you guys noticing the same thing happening elsewhere, or is San Francisco just saturated with Wiis?
Maybe this has been happening for a few weeks now — October hardware sales would indicate that — and I’ve just been conditioned to not look for Wiis.
Let me know what you guys are seeing in your neck of the woods.
