File this under rumor, but interesting, nonetheless:
GameTrailers.com Forums – Tentative Best Buy Wii Inventory
After taking an average of diverse locations directly from Best Buy’s retail stock system(RSS) the total number units indicated is aprroximately 80-90 units. this ranges from 120 in the more popular stores to just 24 in bufu. not only that, but games such as red steel will be roughly 60 in number, and trauma center 30. these are just PRELIMINARY, that is the very first order for all stores.
He goes on to say that Best Buy should have their stock of Wiis on hand already.
Take it for what it’s worth. It gives me hope, even if it means calling in sick to work that day. heh heh

Kotaku is also reporting an average of about 100 per store, of course with variations depending on the location. I have also been hearing that Wal-Mart should have similar numbers, if not more. I would bet that Target should also be close as well.
Thankfully the system is out on Sunday, so I won’t have to worry about work if I decide to wait it out in line.

Thanks, Josh, for reminding me about that. Sunday release is a GREAT THING! No missing work, and I can destroy my entire day playing it instead of writing the next Pipeline. Ooh, I like this. =)
