I was awakened early by my mother yesterday so that we could do the last of shopping for Christmas dinner at Wal*Mart. In purchasing my brother’s Christmas gift from the electronics department, I happened to notice a few accessories that I haven’t seen in stock since Wii launch: two nunchucks and one classic controller. I grabbed one of each.
I then turned around to take a look behind the glass. As expected there were no Wiis. However, there were four 60GB “premium” PlayStation 3s. I asked a sales attendant, “Excuse me, but do you have any Wiis in stock?”
“No, sorry. Everybody wants a Wii this year; that’s the hot item. We don’t know when we’ll get our next shipment either.” I looked back at the pile of PS3s.
“Thank you,” I replied.
