Once Wii Go Black, Wii Never Go Back

A black Nintendo Wii has been available in Japan for almost nine months and about six months in Europe.  But its nowhere to be found in the United States.  To make matters even worse, Nintendo even stated that it had no plans on releasing a Wii in any other color besides white in America. But that stance might have changed.

Numerous retailers are reportedly getting info about a black Wii Sports Resort bundle that’s slated for a May 9th release.  Are we finally catching up with the rest of the world, and what does this mean for sales of the Wii in the United States.  After all, the most cost-effective way to stir up sales on older products is to simply release it in a new color.
