Demand for Wii still outpaces supply

I dunno though, if you go by the "Good Reviews for your Advertisers" method of thinking about reviews/news stories/whatever, the fact that Nintendo is paying good money to use the AP wire in Wii's news channel could be significant.

Is anyone else really impressed by the Wii's news channel? I mean, maybe its been done elsewhere and I just haven't seen it, but as soon as I connected my wii up and opened that channel I was just blown away. It's easily my favorite way to get news these days. If only they would add the ability to add other newsfeeds to it (unless that functionality is already there, I haven't looked), I would not need my computer to read news at all anymore!

In any case, its probably *actually* just a slow news day, but I dunno, AP could have some sort of incentive to get more people onto the wii (however small that incentive is). Do any of the other consoles offer a newsreel built into them?

I am. It's one of my first things to check on my Wii as I come home from work everyday. Wii's gotten back to Nintendo's roots. They are truly making that thing the Family Computer.

I don't know if that AP story's true news, advertisement or in-your-face snub to competition sponsored by Nintendo but I can certainly guarantee that it is real. This thing is like no other system before it to be selling like this in the famous "summer slump". It will only heat up (pardon the summer pun) as the months roll on.

By the way who likes my new signature? I don't do signatures (not my style) but I needed a way to track my prediction for easy reference so people won't have to backtrack through my posts to find it.

 Your predictions are pretty optimistic for the Wii. I don't expect it to surpass 360 in July, but maybe halfway through August. After that, 360 will just blow it by with Halo 3. But back to the topic... haven't we heard this a million times already?
