Wal-Mart is reportedly set to offer “tens of
thousands” of Nintendo Wii video game consoles
over its Web site starting Monday.
The mega-retailer said it will sell the console
as a “value bundle” for $329 while supplies last.
Other U.S. retailers, including Best Buy and
Circuit City, have listed the Wii as sold out
online.
According to Wal-Mart spokesman Ravi Jariwala,
the latest supply of the console was secured with
the help of the retailer working closely with
Nintendo throughout the year.
The Wii has once again proven to be hot seller
this holiday season. The console itself was the
most popular product of this year’s Black Friday
and the most-searched for on eBay, followed by
Wii Fit.
“Asides from our Web site, expect to see the Wii
available at Wal-Mart stores as well,” a Wal-Mart
rep told GameRush Entertainment.
“Shipments of the console will continue through
the holiday season and into 2009, but supplies
are limited,” he said.
