"From stockpiling for the holidays. You know, the thing multiple people have responded to you about when you asked where the extra Wiis are."

Okay so they stockpiled for the holidays, but this could very well lead to the type of demand that I've said the Wii has. See when they stockpiled for the holidays, they were already in the process of creating over-hyped demand for the product at the holidays by increasing demand by removing the system from the market. Again leading to those non-gamers that didn't know what they were buying with the Wii having increased and erroneus perceptions of the system.

In short, The Wii's success comes down more to market manipulation than to any aspect of the system itself.



My most anticipated games:  Whatever Hideo Kojima is going to do next, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Wii Sports Resort.  Cave Story Wiiware.
