sweet... 100.000 which is like $108.
i've been thinking about nintendo's 2008 strategy... if they don't bring out at least 10 casual Wii titles, i'll eat my hat.
i mean, it's the way they're positioning themselves. shifting DS development resources to the Wii. bringing out galaxy, brawl, mario kart (the traditional grand slams) within 3 months of each other. their plans for 2008 must be absolutely monstrous. WiiWare and casual titles are such perfect fits.
it's a good bet what nintendo continues to do will continue to be welcomed by the "new audience". after years of DS development and 1 year of experience with the Wii, knowing what new software will expand the audience should be in their DNA now.
i realized something. when i first bought nintendo shares in january, it was because i first learnt about the Wii (i didn't even know about the DS). it was a case when you can make a judgment on a product already on the market. if i buy more shares today, i'll be betting on nintendo's superior management and direction, since the wii itself is already out of the bag. obviously i'd rather bet with available products, but the returns could even be larger if you have a good feel for where management is leading and what trends to anticipate, and you turn out to be spot on.
anyway, my 2 cents.
the Wii is an epidemic.
