Nintendo U.K. told GamesIndustry.biz that "stock is coming in all the time on a weekly basis." We're surprised that Nintendo is even pretending to be able to keep up with demand, with Wii Fit as enormously popular as it is there. The true test of their production capacity will be the U.S. launch oh May 19th.

Call it an Endless Rant but, it'd be more popular with a less expensive price tag... seriously, this is starting to drain.

It looks like the console production might be catching up with demand though.. I was at three different stores today and they all had Wii's sitting on the shelf. Maybe they're just prepping for those "eco-stimuli" checks.

The marketing team at Nintendo have certainly done the business with the Wii. Even when there are plenty of consoles around they start to build a media frenzy and people rush out to buy.
Wii fit is awesome though, I can't deny that.

The release is the 19th??
I keep hearing different dates. Gamestop told me the ship date is the 21st and they'll have it the 22nd. Amazon also has release date of the 21st.
Where are you getting the 19th from? Are any places doing a midnight release? (I think the answer to that last question is a sad no.)
