Pre-orders for Nintendo's Wii Fit game are outstripping supply as major
retailers report shortages ahead of next week's launch.
Five of the UK's biggest games retailers - Play.com, Amazon.co.uk,
Game.co.uk, Shopto.net and Zavvi.co.uk - have all been forced to turn away
customers looking to buy the game and its bundled Wii Balance Board.
"We are currently sold out on this item. All orders will be dispatched as
soon as possible," read the response at Play.com.
Nintendo is advising customers to "shop around" and claimed that it had
warned retailers of potential shortages several weeks ago.
"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," Nintendo said in a statement released to games website
GamesIndustry.biz.
"Many retailers are still accepting pre-orders and we would advise people to
shop around to secure their copy."
The Wii Fit and its Wii Balance Board, an accessory developed exclusively for
the Nintendo console, will launch across Europe on 25 April priced at £69 in the
UK.
