Wii Launches, Sells Out in Japan
 

After nearly two weeks after the North American launch, the Nintendo Wii is finally available in its home country of Japan. Of course, we use the term “available” rather loosely, as trying to find a Wii for sale in the Land of the Rising Sun borders on the side of impossible. What happened a couple weeks ago here is happening over there.

If Nintendo’s claims are to be believed, 400,000 Wii consoles were available for launch, and all of which have found lovely Japanese homes. This places the Japanese Wii population at four times greater than that of the PlayStation 3.

maybe they should have set the price higher and then make a price cut
