Where is the Nintendo Wii Best Price Available?

by Matt Hellstrom

Once again, the Nintendo Wii Gaming System is going to be one of the top sellers this christmas season. Shop early if you want to get the best price on Wii this year. The Wii has been out for a couple of years now, and because of the new and innovative games like the brand new "Wii Music" they keep coming out with, it remains more popular than ever.

Where are the Hot Christmas deals on Wii?

Start with going to the auction websites. It is a great way to get Wii Gaming Systems because you can bid the price you want and the delivery is quick. There are also a lot of sites where you can find "new in box" systems as well as many that offer "out of box" Wii - where you can save loads of money.

It goes almost without saying that Ebay should be your first stop to find a Nintendo Wii Gaming Sytem. With the large number of people that sell on that website - it is a varitable smorgasbord of selection. You can definitely find the best deals there.

Ebay is especially nice if you don't mind getting a used system. They are very well regulated and controlled, so if you do buy a used one you'll be sure to know what you're getting. Plus, sometimes the used systems are just like new, hardly played at all!

There are the local retail stores, however, they don't always offer the best deals. You do have the added cost benefit though of not paying to have the Wii shipped. And you do have it when you leave the store. This is not, however, a best-deal place normally.

Another great place to try is Amazon Marketplace. At Amazon, you have the benefit of ease of use, reliable shipping, and ease of return if something is wrong. Once again, at Amazon you have the choice between new and used systems. Plus, you can also buy games there. The selection of merchandise you can get for your Wii is mind-boggling at Amazon.

Don't take a chance of being unable to find not only the best price, but a Wii itself. Try these ideas and shop early because the closer we are to Christmas the less likely you are to find the Hot Deal!

Better not wait - get your (http://findgoodchristmasgifts.com) Best Price on Wii at our Good Christmas Gift site right away! It's almost impossible to find a Wii right before Christmas, and this year's going to be no different than the last two. With fun new games like Wii Music and Rock Band for Wii, it's super important to act soon! (http://findgoodchristmasgifts.com)  http://findgoodchristmasgifts.com

Nintendo Wii is Actually In Stock

We've received notification that as of right now, Nintendo Wii consoles are currently in stock at Amazon.com. Seriously.

This isn't a bundle with useless add-on peripherals or crap games that aren't selling. Amazon's got the standalone $249.99 console by itself.

The Wii console does qualify for free Super Saver Shipping. It'll take longer to arrive but the savings in gas and wasted effort looking at the store will be worth it.

Good luck to anyone still looking for a Wii for Christmas or hoping to avoid the madness of Black Friday. This will hopefully be the last year Wii consoles are difficult to find.

Click to snag your Wii console from Amazon.com, while supplies last. Which won't be for long.

Nintendo’s Wii Keeps Lead in U.S Game Console Sales

Nintendo Co. retained its lead in U.S. video-game console sales with 721,000 Wii players purchased in stores last month, according to NPD Group Inc.

Retailers sold 262,000 Xbox 360 consoles by Microsoft Corp. in March and 257,000 of Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3. Sales of games rose 63 percent, Port Washington, New York-based NPD said today in an e-mailed statement.

Wii sales almost tripled, benefiting from Nintendo's release last month of ``Super Smash Bros. Brawl,'' which sold 1.4 million copies in its first week in stores. Kyoto-based Nintendo probably increased shipments to the U.S. to meet demand generated by the game, Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush Morgan Securities in Los Angeles, said in an April 14 report.

``You'd never know that the U.S. economy was under distress by looking at the video games industry sales figures,'' NPD analyst Anita Frazier said in the statement. ``Across hardware, software, and accessories, the Wii contributed the most to total industry sales.''

``Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' was the top title, with 2.7 million copies sold, NPD said.

Industry sales are likely to rise again this month with the release of Take-Two Interactive Software Inc.'s ``Grand Theft Auto IV'' and Nintendo's ``Mario Kart Wii,'' Pachter wrote.

Tokyo-based Sony's PS2 sold 216,000 consoles, NPD said, a 23 percent drop from the 280,000 reported a year earlier.

Supplies

Wiis were in short supply in January after Nintendo diverted shipments to Japan for that country's holiday season, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime said during an interview in February. NPD reported Wii sales of 259,000 for the same period a year earlier.

Sales of video games, consoles and accessories jumped 57 percent to $1.7 billion from $1.1 million a year earlier. Hardware sales rose 46 percent to $551.3 million. Game sales increased to $945.6 million and accessories gained 58 percent to $220 million.

Microsoft, based in Redmond, Washington, rose 27 cents to $29.22 today in Nasdaq Stock Market trading. U.S.-traded Sony rose 55 cents to $42.39 on the New York Stock Exchange. Nintendo rose 0.6 percent to 52,600 yen in Osaka.
