    北美大型连锁零售商Best Buy的一位经理日前向媒体透露，他们接到总部指示，在圣诞期间严禁在店内公开展示任天堂的Wii主机以避免大规模抢购情况发生。据称，BestBuy的店员们现在不得不口头向有意购买Wii的消费者传达Wii的到货情况。

    就在2007年圣诞节前的一周时间，包括Best Buy、Circuit City和Toy “R” Us在内的许多美国大型零售商都幸运地获得了年底前最后一批大规模Wii主机供货。但奇怪的是，零售商们却不敢大张旗鼓地宣传Wii到货的喜讯，甚至不敢向消费者展示Wii主机。

    在巴尔的摩的Best Buy，总经理Dave Wolf却向当地媒体透露，为了防止Wii上架的消息传出后引发大规模抢购局面发生，他们已经不敢在店内打出Wii到货的广告，更不敢公开展示主机，而只能要求店员们在店内四处溜达，向那些有意购买Wii的消费者口头传达Wii的到货情况。

    另外一家Best Buy的经理也向记者表示，他们也接到指示不要在店内公开展示Wii主机以避免出现混乱的抢购局面。他甚至透露说，现在大多数Best Buy零售店在Wii到货后的做法普遍是默而不宣偷偷贩卖，据称这样做的目的一方面是为了保护消费者，同时也是为了保证店铺和店员的安全。

    更有意思的是，这位Best Buy的经理还表示，许多消费者已经对在圣诞期间买到一台Wii感到彻底绝望，在听到店员们说有主机到货的消息后都感到难以置信。一位店员告诉记者，当他对一位前来购机的妇女说今天有Wii到货后，立刻获得了一个热烈的拥抱，这位女性甚至还坚持要送给他自己制作的蛋糕以示感激。

Best Buy stores refuse to display Wiis to avoid mob scene

On the weekend before Christmas Day, many retailers across the country, including Best Buy, Circuit City, and Toy “R” Us, were lucky enough to receive a shipment of Nintendo Wiis to the delight of last-minute shoppers.

Depending on the store, some retailers reportedly received 40 to 60 Wiis on Christmas Eve. Others received a shipment over the weekend, but in both cases, the console sold quickly and almost as soon as it became available.
At a Best Buy store near Baltimore, General Manager Dave Wolf told the Baltimore Sun that they enforced a policy of not displaying any Wiis to the customers to avoid a mob scene. Instead, employees walked around the store telling people that they were available.

According to another Best Buy manager, when they receive a shipment of Wiis, it’s common for the store to practice this policy and not announce the availability of the Wii over the intercom for the safety of the customers and employees.

Most customers, however, lost all hope in finding a Wii in time for Christmas and thought that they were joking when told that they had them. When one Best Buy employee told a woman that the Wii was available, she reportedly began hugging him and offered to bring him crab cakes.

For those who walked out empty-handed and without a Wii this Christmas, the retailers don’t have a specific answer to when they’ll have more, other than, “Check back periodically.”
