I can actually confirm this first hand

.

One of my best friends is a Gamestop manager and just recently returned from the GS/EB Manager's Conference in Dallas, TX... I found out last night that other retailers would get Wii kiosks, but they'll only play looping videos of the games...Gamestop/EB Games will be the only places to actually play the system before you buy at the moment...
