We never, ever thought it’d take this long, but we’ve finally received a sign that the Wii supply and demand might be nearing some equilibrium, almost two and a half years later. According to GameStop SVP Bob McKenzie, the retailer now has a couple weeks’ worth of supply, which seems to be fairly unprecedented given the numerous shortage stories we’ve heard over the console’s 852-day lifespan. That’s not to say the console’s popularity is waning — it’s still topping US sales charts, and according to NPD, pushed over 750,000 units last month. So now that one shortage might be nearing its end, how about Nintendo find a way to keep Wii Fit in stock?
