Amazon sells 1,400 Wiis in ten minutes

That's fuckin crazy. these weren't the 79 dollar ones right?

I just bought a Wii yesterday. I just went in a Rogers Video and asked if they had any and they had 2.

That took 10 minutes? Heh, I figured they'd all be gone in seconds. I seem to remember their $100 360 Core system thing selling out in less than 5 minutes.

Geez

There were 4+ Wii's at HMV in downtown Montreal on Thursday, so I'm set for Xmas!

My first and last attempt at a wii. Looks like my holiday bonus is going towards an Arcade 360.

@s0lesurviv0r-- Meh, you're not missing much. I've had one since the minute they were made available and I've been chalking up the regret points ever since TP was beaten and Wii bowling stopped being interesting to my friends. By the time they are easy to find it's not like it will be terribly hard to catch up on the 3-4 games worth having for the system. Then again, I could just be bitter since I bought it solely on the promise of SSB:Brawl only to be mentally screwed over and over by false release dates. "Just half a year until June 1... Just half a year 'til December 3... Just a few months until Feb. 10." GAH!!!

1,400 more people who are going to be utterly pissed when they realize all they have to play for four more months is UR MR GAY and...uhhh...



...uhhh...

I tried to get one but no dice.

There were a few Gamestops here in NYC that had them on Friday. I think people are seeing the craze and assuming stores dont have them because once I really made an effort it wasnt to hard to find one.

No longer do Wii fanboys need to argue with PS3/360 fanboys.They need only point and laugh.(...but since I own a PS3, I'm not going to join in)

Didn't nintendo say something about putting more systems on the shelves this holiday season?

Why don't you kids like the PS Triple?

I believe Nintendo originally released a statement saying that they've doubled the amount of Wii units for the holiday season. However, it seems like Nintendo is still releasing 1.8 million Wii units a month. Nintendo then released another statement saying that they were confident that they will not be able to meet demand.

I just finished Super Mario Galaxy a few minutes ago. I'll just say that the game's introduction and ending are very cool and satisfying and easily top both Zelda:TP and Metroid Prime 3 in my opinion.

It's always worth it for Nintendo consoles. They are the best developer in the world, and for that I'll always buy their shit. Plus, you're guaranteed at least 4 or 5 epic titles filled with win throughout the lifespan of it, if not more

That's unbelievable. That reminds me when the Chicago White Sox went to the World Series, the tickets sold out in six seconds or something. BANANAS!

There's one "epic, must-own" title on Wii. That's it.

I could easily name five for the 360 without breaking a sweat.

I hope these people that are buying the Wiis are actually going to play them... I can't help but have a really bad feeling that a lot of these are in the hands of people who plan to eBay them.

And I'm still sticking with my conspiracy theory that production is intentionally being stifled to create unnatural levels of demand.

And yes, I'm including Brawl.

In the Los Angeles area, Super Secret Target on Raymer and Van Nuys had a stock of about 5 more or so when I left at 8pm. Good Ruck!

Yes the Wii fad really looks like its dieing down, doesn't it 360 fanboys.

I'm going to come clean here. I consider myself a hard core gamers, but I don't own a 360 (yet). I'm not big on First Person Shooters, Dudecore games like Gears of War, or Viva Piniata, so the consoel jsut doesn't look worth it to me right now. I'll probably get one once Resident Evil 5 drops, or when Castle Crashers is finally finished, but until then the only think tempting me towards the system is Dead Rising and Lost Planet. Both look fun, but neither are really must own games.

I think part of my continuing lack of interest in the 360 comes from my my let down with the X-Box 1. I bought the console for $179, played Panzer Dragon Orta, Jet Grind Radio Future, Ninja Gaiden, and never really played it again. The only console I ever played less than the X-Box 1 was the N64, which I only played for Star Fox 64 and Dr Mario 64 (Mario 64 and Zelda 64 are totally over rated in my opinion).

However, I've truly been over loaded this year with awesome games for the Wii. Mario Galaxy, RE 4 Wii, RE:Umbrella Chronicles, Metroid Prime 3, Geometry Wars Galaxies, Super Paper Mario, Zack and Wiki, Twilight Princess, and many others. And lest not I forget the Virtual Console which has bestowed upon me many great games I had never before played like Sin and Punishment and Alien Soldier.

Those of you who are disappointed with the Wii, you are either not buying the right games or just aren't into what the Wii has to offer.

I have not turned on my Wii in months. That will all change on Christmas morning when I finally get to play Super Mario Galaxy. Even since I beat Marble Mania I have had no desire to play the Wii. I kind of feel bad that I have had one since the day it came out.

and they laughed at me when i lined up hahahaha
