That sounds extremely wrong.
A while ago, I heard that they were going to be supplying enough for the pre-orders in Aus. Whether that's still true or not, I don't know.

US is getting 2 million and Canada is getting probably like 800k or something...
Japan is probably getting alot too since wii's origin/ nintendo's origin is In japan while in Europe... Its probably the rest

20,000 units sounds about right to me since the Gamecube only sold 100,000 units in Australia up to 2004.

We are a tiny part of the market down here so Nintendo is most likely playing the wait and see game to determine the demand for them in Oz. But don't fret, if you really want one order it from the U.K., it will be the same machine as we both use the PAL system. Don't worry about region locking as you can use U.K. Gamecube games on an Aussie Cube (had to import Dakar because I couldn't get it anywhere in OZ when it first came out) so the same should apply with the Wii.

Yeah you could be right, but it only helps with the mystique, some people see SOLD OUT as 'wow this has to be the must have thing, damn I gotta get one'

i'm confused..so if you have pre-ordered in australia, are you guaranteed a wii on launch? Like i've pre-ordered with toys'r'us..AGEs ago when they were still offering the free game at launch thing. Will i be guaranteed a wii or will it be first in first served!

Toys r us, called me last week to tell me my order is confirmed and ask me what free game I wanted to pick nfs or open season.
i said i wanted NFS and they said no worries we will put you a copy aside it will be ready for you on the 7th dec.
i was like awesome.
As far as i know as long as you pre ordered you got a wii
