PS3's are still easy to find, but these things are still sold out in a lot of the stores that I visit. netster007x wrote:

Oh well. The Wii is the cheapest, most innovative game console on the market. I've been a Nintendo fan for a while, and they really earned the victory this time around. I hope the new Mario Kart impresses. One thing I really like about Nintendo is they have the familiar characters like Mario, Link, Bowser... and that should help w/ Mario Kart. Also, the controller is just so remarkable, I've been thinking about getting one just to play around with on the PC. And here I was thinking they’d be lowering the prices around this time. Oh well.

I still know several people who still can’t seem to get their hands on a Wii. There’s definitely still the demand there.

And you know that April’s stats are going to be along the same lines because the long awaited Mario Kart for the Wii will be released on April 27th. Despite being released near the end of the month I think we can expect to see Mario Kart top the charts for April.

And I do believe they are going to keep their streak going on May 21 (in Candada - don’t know about the US) with Wii Fit. I’ve already reserved my copy at Toys R Us.
