I didn't think the Wii's were expected to sale out. They have like 4 million of them available for the launch.

IGN: "Nintendo expects to sell 4 million Wii consoles globally by the end of 2006"

There's a good chance of getting one by the end of the year, but don't count on being able to find one Sunday without some effort.

Yup, I think I will try to get one on sunday. I'll just go by my local walmart and hope to get one. With targets getting 30+ I think my super walmart will have plenty.
