Stores in UK Sell Out of Wii Fit Pre-orders; Nintendo Says to Shop Around

Five of the top UK online retailers have run through their stock of Wii Fit pre-orders and according to Videogaming247 if you were to log on to the following sites, these are the messages you would receive:

• Play.com: “We are currently sold out on this item. All orders will be dispatched as soon as possible.
• Amazon.co.uk: “Availability: Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available.”
• Game.co.uk: “Please note: Due to massive demand we cannot take any further pre-orders on Wii Fit at the present time.”
• Shopto.net: “Pre-order temporarily stopped.”
• Zavvi.co.uk: “Sorry, Wii fit is temporarily out of stock, please check again soon.”

Nintendo UK has said that the company is doing everything it can to ensure more stock reaches the UK and Ireland as soon as possible, but until more stock can be made available to counteract the growing demand, customers may want to check out as many sites and stores as possible to ensure they can get one .

“All retailers in the UK and Ireland have been aware of their Wii Fit allocations for launch since early March and as such we would see any stopping of pre-orders a sensible precaution on their part to ensure all current orders are met. Many retailers are still accepting pre-orders and we would advise people to shop around to secure their copy. As with all our launches, we are working very hard with all our retail partners to be as open and as transparent as possible with further deliveries, we’re disappointed if even one person can’t get hold of one of our products and we are doing everything we can to ensure we have as much stock as possible coming into the UK and Ireland not just at launch, but continually, to try and minimise any potential disappointment as much as possible.”

Wii Fit launches in Europe on April 25 and if this is a precursor of things to come, anyone in North American wanting a Wii Fit better pre-order it and do it soon because May 19 is not that far away.
