Amazon.com expects Wii shortage
|
An email sent out earlier today to Amazon customers who had requested to be notified regarding the Wii, has painted a bleak picture for those impatient to purchase Nintendo's latest console. Thankfully, Amazon has stated that they do expected to receive more shipments of the Wii throughout the holiday period, though if this will be enough to cover the expected high demand is still unknown.
The text of the email is as follows.
Important News For Amazon.com Video Games Customers
The Nintendo Wii will be available for purchase on Amazon.com on 11/19, Sunday morning (PST). We will be limiting purchases to one per household and we anticipate that we will sell through our inventory very quickly as we've received 100 times more Wii email sign-ups than consoles we'll have available for sale (i.e., for every Nintendo Wii we'll have for sale, over 100 people have signed up to be notified).
We expect to receive periodic shipments of the Wii from Nintendo throughout the holidays and we will post availability updates on the product detail page as well as in the customer discussions on the Nintendo Wii product page:
