You were just lucky then.
Most of the people who are buying these Wiis are greedy re-sellers. Which is unfortunate for most common people who want to play the system and its games. Nintendo could obviously care less about the re-sellers since their consoles are being purchased either way.
I, myself... still don't have the Wii, because it's ridiculous to think it's still hard to get after a year already. I didn't get it during launch and didn't pre-order because there weren't any must-get type of games for me. I've never waited in line for a launch console, and I certainly won't wait in line to get one after one damn year.
I was waiting for Galaxy and Smash Bros. Galaxy came out in November... and Smash Bros got pushed back from December to February... and now March. I'll admit, I have lost some interest in the Wii because of this "shortage".
But either way, thanks for the heads up. I'm sure it'll be helpful for those here on LGK who still want/need one
