I think that the reason the Japanese market is stabilizing, and that the American console sales rising is mostly due to increase in production. About 3 months ago they mentioned shifting some manufacture to develop more Wiis and it wold take about 3 months to see shipments increase...isn't what's ahpening?.



So my guess is that we will see more console on the market, they just tend to sell as fast as usual... and with the holidays comming, people should try to get one as soon as possible.

They actually sends 2 times more consoles to the market than the Xbox and PS3 right now, they increased production. They never thought the Wii would have such popularity and would sell so well even after a year from it's release.



As you can see with current numbers the sales are only rising for the console, meaning more are available. But they do sell really fast.



Mys suggestion: Big surface stores usually puts the consoles on Sundays (wal-mart, best bu, circuit city) Try going there or call them to confirm this info. You should be able to get one if you go early those days.



I work in a small videogame store and we usually recieve between 2 and 8 per week and usually sell them the same day, or within de morning of the second depending on how much we recieved.
