Ugh, VC... Another pocket drainage.  Nintendo has quite the money making machine with the Wii, despite what some analysts have recently said, I'd definately hold on to their stock.

Most of the major third parties have announce more support for Wii, but any AAA games in development won't see the light of day until mid to late '08 because they waited so long to start.  Once those start to be announced (probably in the new year) that'll spur Wii sales more. Even with the hardcore crowd.

 Also, Nintendo has a the DS as a model on how to sell to the 'casual' crowd, so expect a lot of games that'll keep the non-hardcore buying. WiiFit is only the beginning.

Another market to watch is Korea.  Korea is a huge market no console has ever successfully broke into. Why? Koreans love their MMOs on PCs.   But the Wii is completely different than a PC and early reports is it's popular although I don't think Nintendo is even selling there yet due to supply constraint. If they solve the supply issues and win over Korea, that'll easily make the Wii the most successful console in history.

 Actually, you should sell that stock. To me. Cheap.
