Japan joined the Wii revolution over the weekend and retailers promptly sold out of consoles. On the distribution side however, hundreds of Wii consoles were still available for sale at lofty valuations. As of this morning, 576 Wii units were ready for export. Since NCS knows how the pricing will pan out in about 1-2 week's time (it'll drop), we're halting all imports of Wii consoles until prices return to normal levels.
