Recent online rumblings suggest gamers can expect Wii preorders at Gamestop and EB later this week. Such rumors are in line with an unconfirmed email sent to Joystiq by an individual who claims to work at Gamestop. Our tipster tells us that a meeting was held yesterday, and that consumers can expect Wii preorders to begin either this Thursday or Friday for an unspecified number of systems. Furthermore, EB Games has updated their Wii website stating that "Online console preorder info [is] coming soon!"
With PS3 preorders being announced yesterday, it's likely the games retailer will announce Wii allotments and preorder dates soon. If true, let's hope availability is more than eight systems per store.
