Nintendo Issues a Rain Check
So what if your kid's Christmas doesn't look like this? Isn't that a good thing?
According to the Associated Press, GameStop will be selling thousands of rain checks for Wiis at the retail price, $249.99 on December 20 and 21. The voucher would allow the buyer to get their Wii before the end of January.
More importantly, it's something to put in the l'il tyke's stocking.
This is a great step for Nintendo. Compared to Sony's 466,000 PS3s and Microsoft's 770,000 360s sold in November alone, Nintendo has sold 981,000 Wiis (again, this figure is only including last month's sales).
Any takers?
