Wii Availability

The worst thing in the world is when you spill a glass of water or Juice or any liquid right on your laptop. Whats worse is spilling your drink right on your Wii!.  I mean I would seriously cry. And let me tell you that I don't cry often. Well think about it, you have to be careful with your things. I don't mean to be preaching but its very important. It seems pretty obvious but it does happen.

IT DOES HAPPEN, my little brother was playing with his Wii one day and I get a call from my mom that he completely ruined his Wii. Good thing, we don't share Wiis and I don't live at home anymore.

So I looked this up a little and I would say to clean your Wii with a slightly damp cloth to make sure the dust doesn't ruin the hardware. Next is put your Wii in  a safe area. Away from all the bad and very harmful liquids. Make sure to clean your Wii atleast once a month to make sure that its in top condition at all times.

What if I told you that you can get some great Wii games for only $37, well you can! Super Mario Galaxy, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, Need for Speed: Prostreet, Madden NFL 08, Smackdown vs Raw are all on sale for only $37.

These Wii Availability games are not horrible either. One of my favorites is Need for Speed: Prostreet. Its a great game. All those twists and turns of driving. The Thrill, its all there. I would completely reccomend it and especially for  only  $37. What could be better than that.  Get Wii availability games for a great price at Target. Oh and be fast because sale ends Saturday!!.. Hurry Before its all gone.

Nintendo Wiis have been selling like hotcakes to the point that you will need to wait months before you'll see them in large quantities in your local electronics stores. The question is how much business is Nintendo losing out by not having consoles in stock.

MDB Capital Group recently said that Nintendo is losing out at $1.3 billion. This is quite a staggering number and they are saying that Nintendo could double their production and still sell them all. This means that 1.8  million consoles would become 3.6 million a month in terms of production. Now that's a lot of consoles!

The Nintendo Wii on top of the world. Nintendo was only having success in the handheld video game market with the Game Boy and DS, but now it finally has taken back the console crown with the Wii. Currently, the Wii is outselling the PS3 and XBox 360 by leaps and bounds. However,  a professional analyst has predicted that the PS3 should be selling like hotcakes starting next year until 2008.

The analyst predicted that the PS3 will actually surpass the Wii in 2011, which means the Sony PS3 needs to start selling at a blistering pace. It's a good thing that analysts are usually wrong because I'm sure their prediction a few years ago would have been completely wrong. Anyway, all that matters is that the Nintendo Wii is the hottest product of the year for a good reason.

The Wii Fit was recently released in Japan and its been a huge hit. There were already 300,000 pre orders sold before it was released. Despite the large number of preorders, huge crowds lined up to buy the Wii Fit.

The Wii Fit is currently the #2 most sold item in Japan right below Professor Layton 2 which is a Nintendo DS game. Another interesting tid bit is that the Wii Fit has sold more than Super Mario Galaxy in its first week.

Wii Fit helped push Wii harware sales as 71,000 consoles sold which is a major 30 perent increase from last week.

Many people believed that the WIi availability would be high for the Nintendo Wii over the Thanksgiving holiday week. It turns out they were right, but there were purchased so quickly that there are STILL no Wii availability now. It turns out that Nintendo sold 350k Nintendo Wiis during the Thanksgiving holidays, which is a huge number. You have to keep in mind that this is only for the United States.

Wii availability in other parts of the world are still next to nothing. The UK has it the worst where you have to spend over $650 US dollars to buy a Nintendo Wii. In the US, there is still Wii availability on eBay, but prices have jumped from $300 to $500 for some of the basic bundle listings. These are incredible numbers.

The lesson here is that the Wii availabilty problems are going nowhere and prices will keep rising until about the middle of December where the peak shopping season happens. The best advice is to purchase one immediately while there is still an opportunity to buy it for a reasonable price. Paying $1000s may just be a little too much.

Nintendo had promised us we'd be seeing DVD playing Nintendo Wiis this year, but it looks like they are turning back on that offer. The issue is that the Nintendo Wii is so hot right now that they can't afford to slow down the production process just to add DVD playing capability. This is unfortunate because I would be glad to throw away my old DVD player.

Another reason they stated was that the royalties for DVD players is still high. They still need to pay the people own the DVD patent. Many people will upset these holidays, but at least there will be more Wiis on store shelves. However, how would we know if we never see one ever! :)

Nintendo now has a new marketing chief and they stole her from a pretty big company, Yahoo. Her name is Camie Dunaway and she now responsible for selling Nintendo products to us. I have to say her job won't be that hard for a little while because the Wii and the DS seem to sell by themselves.

Nintendo has over a 80 million dollar marketing budget, which she will be controlling. Here's some background of her. She used to work for Yahoo and Frito Lay.

She is known for doing some crazy things like building a giant purple brain at New York's Times Square. This was for Yahoo! Answers. Well I hope she enjoys her new position and I hope Nintendo does even better now!

Here's an odd Nintendo news piece. Mario and Link will be in South Park's newest episode coming out. The creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, are already known for their genius ability to add in real life situations and put them into South Park and make it so funny that you feel like losing your gut. Yeah... a little graphic there.

If you watch the show, South Park has showed Mario in there before. One of their episodes showcased World of Warcraft. All I can say that it was classic. I'm not sure if all the South Park fans understood, but I think a majority would due to the young demographic.

I can't wait to check out the latest South Park episode starring my favorite Nintendo characters.

Well, it looks like the few who actually thought Nintendo would drop the price like Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony Playstation 3 did are officially losers. Just kidding, there's nothing wrong with hoping. Frankly, the demand for Nintendo Wii is just way too high for them to even consider dropping the price.

You also have to take in the fact that the price of the Nintendo Wii is considerably lower than the competition. The announcement was officially made by Iwata of Nintendo. He states similar reasons to mine.

He looks pretty happy I must say.
