Wii Fit shortage expected to last until Christmas - where to buy a Wii Fit...
Shops around Britain are running out of Wii Fit boards as health-conscious Britons have rushed out to buy the latest must-have exercise accessory.
The popular Nintendo video game attachment combines playing computer games with mild exercise. Priced around £70, it guides users through 40 exercise games including yoga, football skills and slalom skiing.
Nintendo says the games can 'change how you exercise, how you balance, and even how you move.'
Waiting lists have been reported to be growing by up to 1,000 people each day. Major online stores including Dixons, HMV and John Lewis are all out of stock.
Even Britain's largest supermarket chain Tesco is out of the product. Its website informs customers: 'Due to high demand for this product, additional stock is not currently expected from supplier until August.'
