Thoughts:

8 weeks and counting, Amazon.com is still out-of-stock of Wii Fit Plus with the Wii Balance Board.

The starting price shown for Wii Fit Plus w/ Balance Board, when I was getting the data, was $158.88 for the package new.

Just a little more than two weeks ago, on Thursday February 18, 2010, I said, "I think New Super Mario Bros. Wii will pass Wii Sports Resort on May 1, 2010, when the data is updated that day.  I think both games will be reporting right around 6,800,000 "Total Hours" played, with New Super Mario Bros. Wii slightly ahead of Wii Sports Resort."

Then last week, on February 23, 2010, I said that I thought New Super Mario Bros. Wii would probably cross 7,000,000 Total Hours reported this week.

Well, I was right and wrong.  

New Super Mario Bros. Wii did pass Wii Sports Resort's "Total Hours" reported played this week and both games had more than 6,800,000 hours reported as played.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii, though, didn't pass 7,000,000 "Total Hours" played, being just 22,447 hours shy of passing it.

Question:

Is anybody surprised at how much trouble Amazon.com is having keeping Wii Fit Plus w/ Balance Board in stock?  I think it's crazy that for the last 8 weeks, each time I check for the sales rank and price, Amazon.com hasn't had Wii Fit Plus w/ Balance board in stock.

I wonder how long this is going to last.
