If you’re hoping to burn off those extra pounds you put on over the Christmas period by bouncing around on a Nintendo Wii Fit board, you’ll need to get your order in early according to reports. Shopkeepers are reportedly running out of stock the Nintendo Wii Fit boards as we start the slow build to the silly season, where parents tend to have a mad panic looking for those Christmas presents for their children.

Much like last year, the Nintendo Wii is expected to be the must have present this Christmas, with the Wii Fit the number one accessory.

According to reports, waiting lists for the Wii Fit board is growing by almost 1,000 people each day. Also websites that track the movements of the Wii Fits are receiving almost 30,000 hits in a single day.

According to Chart-Track, the Wii Fit sold a staggering 338,000 units in the first two weeks of its launch, making it the 8th biggest launch of any video game, ever!

With retailers everywhere running out of the Wii Fit, if you’re looking to buy one for Christmas you’ll be best advised to get your order in early.
