Default Wii Fit stock shock continues

Like the comment about pockets of shortages, heard its a bit more than that.

Quote:
Nintendo tells MCV it is doing 'everything we can' to remedy High Street shortages





Following Wii Fit's spectacular plummet from the All Formats Chart, Nintendo has told MCV that it is doing everything it can to resolve the game's UK stock shortage.

Accepting there was an issue, Nintendo told MCV: “There are pockets of stock shortages in areas of the UK but we are doing everything we can to replenish shortages as soon as possible.

"To this effect we are continuing to bring Wii Fit stock into retailers across the UK on a weekly basis.”

Verdict Research’s Nick Gladding added:
“I think there’s obviously an issue with the product cycle and the Wii Fit situation has been heightened by increased console sales.”

Don McCabe, MD of CHIPS is just one of the retailers feeling the pressure: “Certainly with Wii Fit we’ve never had enough stock from day one.”

I'm glad I got my 260 units on time; selling them for almost double the retail price was very nice.

he-he, nice on:-) Roughly 6 months after previous "shortage". Still, there are places in Europe where you can get brand new Wii Fit for 60 quid.

Yep had a stroke of luck and picking up 20 tomorrow, could shift more but they are limiting the allocation
