Toys ‘R’ Us says more PS3s, Wiis coming before Christmas

by Doug Berger on Dec 19, 2006 at 02:57 PM

Toys R Us

Today Toys “R” Us claimed they have “thousands” of Nintendo Wiis, and 6,000 PS3 units ready to be released before Christmas.  Do you think they know how awkward of a time it is to be releasing new units?  It’s unheard of to be releasing new shipments less than a week before Christmas.  But as bizarre a move as it is, consumers will still flock to the stores scrambling to get a unit for their kid (or themselves).  The company has not announced the real number of Wii units they will have in stock… because let’s be honest, “thousands” is quite vague.

Joystiq points out the “fast one” Toys “R” Us pulled on shoppers on Black Friday last month.

But that sounds consistent with previous fast ones Toys “R” Us pulled on consumers when the company baited-and-switched Black Friday shoppers, forcing them to purchase a $450 bundle if they indeed wanted the $250 console. Prospective buyers beware.
