How rare are black Wiis?

No, the standard black Wii is not rare; it's quite common, especially the later models without GameCube ports (RVL-101), but the earlier black Wii with GameCube ports (RVL-001) is slightly less common and more sought after by collectors because it's backwards compatible and came in special bundles like the Wii Sports Resort pack in Europe. The black color was introduced in 2009/2010, long after the initial 2006 launch, making it a widespread variant, not a true rarity.
