It’s Wii’s second Christmas, and there’s a strong push behind the console. Will it be the best selling console this Christmas? I think so, but how about you?
Amazon sold 1,400 consoles in just ten minutes, when their stock was renewed last week. A story not so hard to belive, as the Wii becomes harder to find each day.
The craze has predictably pushed up prices of the console - some are selling on eBay and Amazon for over $400. Just as Reggie said, there just aren’t enough consoles for everyone.
“There is a steady flow of Wiis into the country between now and Christmas. It will not be enough to meet all consumer demand but is sufficient for retailers to enjoy good levels of sales in the run-up to Christmas.”
So keep an eye out for Wiis in your area, and hope you’re one of the lucky ones.

I want to give a Wii as a christmas present to some relatives and i am actually thinking of buying it now. I am so worried that even in Cyprus there will be a shortage. Unbelievable stuff. A year after launch and there is still not enough supply.
I didn't see anyway to contact you, but figured you would see this.
I wrote an article about the sky high Wii prices that I thought you might be interested in. It has a chart of the Wii console prices on Amazon.com for the last 4 months and shows the roughly $250 price rise in the last two weeks.

I say how I am considering selling my Wii now for the going rate of $590 and then buying another one back in January for the average price in August through October of $350. After fees I would have enough money left over to buy Smash Bros. Brawl and 10 NES virtual consoles games. A very tempting possibility.
Thanks for looking at the article and the chart. Feel free to post the chart if you want, but please provide the source.
