Brace yourself because there will be no more Wiis 'for a few weeks' according to the staff at HMV on Oxford Street.

Unless you have pre-ordered the console (and even if you have) there is no stock and definitely no pick and go Wiis at the UK's biggest HMV.

The store has stopped taking pre-orders too because they have yet to fulfil their commitments to those that pre-ordered prior to the launch.

As we previously reported there were no queues on Thursday (despite what the BBC reported) and we only witnessed people gathering during the evening.

At 12:01am HMV opened its doors to punters but only had 200 consoles to sell to people without a pre-order and the police feared fights would break out.

To avoid confrontation, HMV took the names of the first 200 people in the queue and let them pick up their Wii's this morning instead.

On a side note Nintendo painted Wii advertising on an old bus and drove it about central London to try and bring the hype up, but I feel this has been the quietest UK launch of a console for years now!
