The end of 2009 signalled a whole host of commentators and analysts arguing that the Wii was on the way out, that the market was saturated, or that people were getting bored with it.

Well, reality has a habit of disagreeing with commentators and analysts, and this time it's no different.

This chart shows the weekly worldwide sales of the three main consoles, with the Wii accounting for just under half of all the consoles sold, despite the PS3 and XBox selling well.

This chart shows the cumulative sales of the three systems. The Wii has sold 65m units, the XBox 37m, and the PS3 31m. The Wii now accounts for just under half of all the current generation consoles out there.

So, while I'm sure that the Wii sales will start to slow down, possibly this year, stories of the Wii's demise have been greatly exaggerated

stock seems to be a problem everywhere. I think that's how they keep th eprice up. New inventories just arrived at local stores and most sell out right away for the popular games, wii fit, sports resort, and EA Sports

Hi, sorry I don't understand the question?

Wii Fit Plus is available. Do you mean in your local area? At a specific shop?

I can't find it available anywhere online. The stores in my area are all out of stock. I just have a hard time understanding how every store online or locally doesn't have this product

That's odd, where do you live? It is readily available in Connecticut, United States.

Hrm, perhaps it's a regional thing. I've seen plenty in the UK, and Amazon UK appears to have some.

They've been really hard to find in Canada lately. Seems like places sold out at Christmas and haven't gotten new stock. Both Bet Buy and Future Shop were sold out even online.
