oic...so my original post was spot on...and your excuses were cover-ups...

All clear now...lol.

I love my Zune, I really want it to become a hit. I want to find other people to share music with! :p

Can someone explain how Microsoft Office 2004 Student and Teacher got on the list?

 Someone put a deal on it?

That thing is worth quite a bit and very useful for millions of people =\ 

I have zero doubt the wii will dominate this christmas

you should of seen the local stores, INSANE, INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNSANE

 QFT, there simply will not be enough units.

We of course have known this for a few months now, but if the last 2 weeks are any indication I think the demand is going to be a lot higher than I was expecting.  Unfortunately it probably won't matter much because there won't be enough consoles for what I was expecting. 

 i honestly think this x'mas is gonna be the last x'mas where the wii sells as ridiculously good as it is right now.  so enjoy these whopping numbers while they last, because i think by this time next year wii would be selling at more "reasonable" levels.

 i'm saying this largely because of what we observed in japan--at some point the demand just has to saturate.   we just haven't reached that point in the US yet, and i'm estimating that this x'mas nintendo will have done a good job satisfying that demand, essentially demand of an extended launch.

 don't flame me!  just speaking my mind. 

 obviously we don't know what nintendo has up its sleaves for 2008, but i do know that there will never be something as revolutionary and as much fun as WiiSports.  so, i anticipate that after Wii demand is saturated in the US after holiday 2007, holiday 2008 the Wii won't sell at this ridiculous rate.

The only problem with that theory is that it relies entirely on the Japanese market trend as the only future indicator when we know for fact that the Japanese consumers is extremely different from any other major market consumer.

Its not impossible, but I'm not buying it. Especially not with Wii Fit and Brawl on the horizon.

Wow! Its very hard to believe that something which is a "fad" continues to dominate microsoft and completely and utterly embarrass sony.

This is tuly a second golden age for Nintendo... let it never end.

As a Xbox 360 gamer myself, i still like the Wii and Nintendo.
I am Happy for Nintendo to Lead the race, as long as Xbox 360 remains in second i will be greatful (Because i will be buying my wii in about 3 weeks! lol)
