A chronic shortage of Nintendo's popular Wii console could mean disappointment for those putting it at the top of their Christmas list.
The BBC has learned that high street retailers are struggling to keep up with demand for the console, which has been in short supply for months.
Websites such as Wii-consoles.co.uk have been set up to help shoppers find out when stock becomes available.
Nintendo said it was "doing everything possible" to keep up with demand.
Its push to fill the shelves in time for Christmas will see it ship an extra 3.5 million consoles globally. It is not known how many extra consoles will make it to UK shelves. Sony and Microsoft wish they had this problem lol... I see the Wii is now nearly a million sales ahead of the 360, which was launched a whole year before it, and has amazingly sold more then double the PlayStation 3! BBC News Report

Not just price though Waddi, the 360 has sold barely 3 million units worldwide this year, the Wii has sold in excess of 7 million, BIG difference lol.
The 360 sales have been practically dead tbh, in the last 6 months, they have been stuck in the 12 - 13 million unit region, the Wii has gone from number 2 with just over 8 million units sold to number 1 with nigh on 14 million units sold.
Sales of the 360 seem to have come to an end, obviously excluding a bit of Xmas increase, whereas Wii sales are stronger then ever due to more and more publicity and popularity.

Lmao, I dunno anymore me, I never take any interest in consoles, although I have wanted a Wii since it was announced as the Revelution a few years back... dunno why at that time though lol. So I dunno whats what anymore, lost track of all these 360's varients, and the PS3 is getting bad too, dunno why they dont just release one varient and stick with it, the idea with consoles in my day as opposed to PC's was that you bought the console and they wouldnt keep replacing it/upgrading it, it would be good for 5 years... Things have changed hehe.
