Will Aussies get enough Wii?
How many Wii units will Australia get on the console’s launch on December 7? Only Nintendo Australia knows for sure and the company’s lips are sealed. Make that coyly shut.
Nintendo Australia says the company is bringing in a significant number of consoles for the Australian launch but could only guarantee pre-ordered stock at retail. The total stocks of Nintendo’s next-gen console, however, is another story. “We can’t guarantee total supply because we don’t know how many consumers are going to go wild over this.”
The company described its total stocks as “significant number” and not “a small drop.” But they recommend customers to place pre-orders to be sure.
If the continent does experience a Wii shortage, it’s not something new for the Aussies. Australian gamers went through an Xbox 360 shortage when it was launched in March.
Nintendo announced the Wii’s retail price as AU$ 399.95 (US$ 300) but the final pricing for games, accessories, and virtual console titles are yet to be released.
