Wii Rain Check Program

by Lynn Little

Responding to the huge demand of Wiis and not enough supply, Nintendo president Reggie Fils-Aime has announced that consumers who pay the full price for a Wii by next weekend will be issued a rain check and will hopefully have a Wii in their hands by the end of January. Rain checks will be done in conjunction with Gamestop.

Meanwhile, employees at the Nintendo distribution center in North Bend, Washington are busy at work to meet the demand. An estimated 1.8 million Wiis are now being shipped each month.

It has been promised that a new shipment of Wiis will be in at least six major retailers this weekend, so there still is hope for those looking for the hottest console this Christmas to get their hands on one.
