The big boys in the USA retail world are using the success of the WII to draw and attention to themselves. Walmart got some press regarding the fact that they have Wii units in stock online and they are selling them.
So think about that for a simple minute. Walmart sells tons and tons of things every minute. Why is the fact that they are selling Wii units a big deal. Because people really want to get their hands on units. Walmart is providing some special promotional pricing for the units with the price set at $249.24 but really the fact that the press picked up the story is a bigger deal. Walmart also has some deals on Wii games and some other Wii related products. Hopefully they are selling some Wii remote chargers at a special price. That is one add on that almost everyone should get when they buy their system.
