Nintendo title nosedives from No.2 as it fails to dent this week’s full chart
Nintendo’s phenomenal-selling Wii Fit has had the worst week of its existence in the UK – dropping all the way out of the ChartTrack/ELSPA All Formats top 40.
The spectacular drop – likely due to stock issues at retail – has seen the game slide from second position last week, a drop of more than 38 positions.
The game registered 15th position in ChartTrack's Wii single-format chart.
Last week, the game ruled the Spanish charts - even reclaiming the top spot from GTA IV.

nintendo need a spare factory
This is one of many mess ups Nintendo have made, I am a huge fan of the company but it upsets me too think that in thier finest hour they would screw up so badly. I get asked for this title at least 5 times a day and I absolutely hate turning people away. GET IT SORTED NINTENDO
Re: nintendo need a spare factory
Same here, turning away lots of customers. I'm getting rather tired of saying the same thing. Some Mario Kart wont go amiss...
Useless gits.
Do Nintendo have a factory at all?
Firstly:
"Likely due to stock issues at retail"
Really?! How astute of you.
Secondly:
Why are Nintendo continuing with T.V adverts for Wii Fit, when none are available?
I've seen it twice so far during 1/2hr of Britains got talent!
I will be now be asked for wii fit 20 times tomorrow instead of the 15 I was today. Cheers Nintendo.
Re: Do Nintendo have a factory at all?
Nintendo should be forced to remove their adverts from TV as they simply can't supply the stock. False advertising? Could be.
Re: Do Nintendo have a factory at all?
I9 own wii fit but its selling on ebay at the min for £78. I keep seeing adverts on tv for it. but no where has any stock of wii fit. I agree remove the adds until you have the stock to send suppliers
Re: Do Nintendo have a factory at all?
This whole nintendo not supplying enough stock thing is getting very old very fast. At first i thought it was a clever marketing campaign of supply and demand but the longer it goes on the more incompetent it makes nintendo seem. I love nintendo, don't have a Wii but my DS keeps me sane on the trip to and from work, but i don't buy any of this we can't make enough of them crap.
Re: Impulse buy
Tbh they lost a sale from me... Bored on a gloomy, wet bank holiday monday, I took a quick strole to Woolworthes to buy MarioKart Wii (even tho I don't personally own a Wii, I just have access to one) - but NO STOCK. I wont be buying a copy now...
Re: Do Nintendo have a factory at all?
