Is that a lot of consoles for a launch week?

I was in a small town on black friday (around 1pm) and I saw 3 Wii Us in the electronics section of their wal-mart. Thought about buying one to flip it but I didn't really feel like messing with craigslist/ebay.
Its not sold out. Its just hype.

People will buy these, play for a little while and they will sit gathering dust like the Wii does now.
Why are people such Nintendo haters? Ha.
Our Wii gets a ton of play cause we have kids. You know, like when we were all kids and played the fuck out of our Nintendo's?
Nintendo's controller designs have been criticized at first all the way back to the N64. After the fact, they are praised (by most, anyway).I am reminded of when the original Wii was announced, everyone thought the Wii-remote design was crazy, and it turned out okay... I expect the same thing to happen here.

Also, refusing to get with the times - even on their newest console - isn't innovative. Refusing a newer technology like the optical disc, HD resolution, internet connectivity and creating a 'last gen' system for the next generation just screams of 'old man who is trying to keep up.'
You have a lot of interesting personal opinions on Nintendo but the numbers show the populace doesn't agree with you. And as they continue to outsell Xbox and PS3, they're hardly the ones that are "Trying to keep up."
They don't have to keep up with the times. That's not what their product is designed to do. It's designed to compete in a market you're not part of.
Nintendo has basically lost their way when it comes to videogames. I cant speak about business practice because as much as we complain, they're constantly in the black, so that's that. But as far as being a videogame giant like it was back in the NES/SNES days, they've lost their way.
Wii games are at the top of both my kids' Xmas lists... again...
Mario is awesome as usual. 4 player co-op is a lot of fun. Played for 7 hours yesterday. I too have owned every Nintendo system, even the virtual boy![]()
Which games, out of curiosity?
