Wii MotionPlus

This new hardware addon improves the Wii’s own motion sensing controller by providing true 1 to 1 movement tracking. This will provide Wii gamers with an improved gameplay experience. A whole range of Wii Motion plus games have already been announced. Nintendo are hoping that Wii MotionPlus will boost the sales of the Wii console and its games.

Wii Motion Plus Stock Shortages

Nintendo have done very well over the past couple of years with their new and inovative inventions for the Wii. Take Wii Fit for instance, this game with its hardware component (The Wii Fit balance board) was out of stock for almost 1 year from its launch date and the same was true for the Wii console itself. The Wii console experienced 2 major stock shortages and became the top selling Xmas toy 2 years in a row.

We anticipate that the availability of Wii MotionPlus will be very low after its launch in June. Nintendo are producing a huge amount of these hardware dongles, but demand is sure to outstrip supply, which will result in Wii Motion Plus stock shortages.

Wii Motion Plus stock locator

As we did with Wii consoles and Wii Fit, the wii-consoles site will be tracking availability of Wii MotionPlus with out realtime stock location service. When stock comes in our site will popup alert windows with an audible notification.

Wii Motion Plus preorders

As stock shortages are expected, it would be wise to preorder Wii MotionPlus earlier rather than later. Placing a preorder also ensures you get a good price for this hardware add-on.
