Well no suprises there then. Nintendo has done it again with Wii Fit as UK's leading retailers run out of stock within days of launch. Online stores like Amazon, Play and Zavvi are showing no stock while Game simply allows you to 'register for our Wii Fit stock updates'. Clever independent retailers are also getting in on the action, advertising the game at over £100, that's £30 more than normal retail.

It's estimated that over 200 000 units shipped in the first weekend with highstreet store Woolworths claiming sales of 90 a minute on the day of launch. According to Nintendo "We are doing everything we can to ensure we have as much stock as possible coming into the UK and Ireland not just at launch, but continually, to try and minimise any potential disappointment as much as possible."
