Everyone is asking when the Wii will be hitting the stores. We get this question asked a lot. People have heard of the Wii, but their not sure when to expect to see it or even if its been released yet. The sad fact is, the Ninento Wii has been out since 2006, but it has been so hard fo find in stores, a lot of people think it's still waiting to be released!

Why is it so difficult to find the Nintendo Wii? The main reason is because the demand for the product is so high. When the demand reaches such a high level, a domino affect occurs. The key to this question is Supply versus Demand.

Nintendo was able to create so much excitement and publicity about this product before it was released, that buyers were ready to buy when it finally was available. It was not unusual to see people standing in long lines often blocks long to get a Wii. It did not matter if it was cold, snowing, or hot as long as buyers could get their hands on the long awaited Wii.

All around the world, people lined up at stores during opening time, yet most people left empty handed. If you weren't fortunate enough to be among the first ten people in line, you simply wasted your time and received nothing in return. Why? The truth is that Nintendo did not produce enough.

You've probably heard and seen all about the Nintendo Wii, and worked yourself up wondering when the Wii is being released. But the question you should be asking yourself instead is how you're going to obtain one. Nintendo Wii is a hot product in the gamin world, and for every machine there are hundreds of people who want it. They are relatively hard to get.

Supply not matching demand is hardly a novel concept. A number of manufacturers have begun doing this for several reasons. Still, the main reason has to do with the fact that for years they've tried to create high demand; therefore, they've produced a lot of supply, but then found that the supply far outweighed the demand.

When the supply exceeds the demand, the company loses money. Therefore, they have changed the game plan. They have found that a sure fire way of ensuring a demand of a product is to produce and release very few. This will ensure that everyone is scrambling to get one, telling others about their experience, and boosting the demand even further.

Why is it so darn hard to locate a Wii? When is the Nintendo Wii coming out? It is ready but you must wait for Nintendo to make more systems available. The tremendous response means that the cost will remain high. The manufacturers are making a ton of money while the customers are still trying to locate the machine.
