Aussie Wii Hardware and Accessories to be in short supply

Today we have learnt information pertaining to the number of Wiis and accessories that would be arriving to several department stores around the country. While it doesnt cover every store or every department store chain it is the average for the majority of these type of stores.

Some stores are getting as little as 25 Wiis maybe less, to learn more head inside
The information we received today tell us that most big chain department stores will possibly receive as little as 25 Wiis per store. While dedicated stores such as EB, Gametraders who have preordered systems demand more, department stores have no control over stock so they will simply be allocated units by the warehouse unless preorders exceed allocated stock.

If that wasnt enough, we have also learned that Wii Play will be getting a huge push with the ratio of Wiimotes being 4:1 in favour of the Wii Play Bundle compared to standalone Wiimotes. Nunchucks and Classic controller are also getting a limited supply, with on average 1 nunchuck for every 3 Wiimotes.

As reported yesterday component cables if chosen to be ordered will arrive days later.

Nintendo Australia have warned us and well do it again, If you have not preordered DO SO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE if you want it day one. All preorders will be filled, but other then that your on your own.

While there will be more stock replenished after launch the initial shipment will go like snap.

We should also point out that if you store has preorders that all preorders will be covered, if you dont preorder you are then at risk not getting one
