Unfortunately, the marketing hype has become so successful that it has led to incidents of mugging and stealing that police even issued safety warnings. In London, the warnings are being given away with the Wii consoles, alerting consumers that the console is “a highly coveted and exclusive device” and that there are criminal elements that may be on the lookout to take the machine.
