The Nintendo Wii was launched in North America on November 19, 2006. Despite the heavy production of Wiis, according to a recent NY Times article, new shipments of Wiis are still selling out quickly.
 
Typical costs:
  • The Nintendo Wii gaming console retails for $250.
  • The official Wii.Nintendo.Com website provides a store locator that helps you find stores near you that carry the Wii. You can find stores and call them to find out whether they have any Wiis in stock, and when they expect their next shipment.
  • Some individuals have begun auctioning the Nintendo Wii at a premium over the retail price. On eBay, Wiis have been selling from $330-$480, depending on how many games are included.
What should be included:
  • The Wii comes with the game console, a stand, one Wii remote, a sensor bar, one game (usually Wii Sports), and one Nunchuk attachment, which is a two button analog controller stick.
Additional costs:
  • Most Wii games run about $45-50; top selling choices include The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07, Super Paper Mario, and Sonic and the Secret Rings.
  • Additional Wii remotes retail for $40, and additional Nunchuk or classic game controllers retail for $20 each.
