When I read the news headline on the main page I read it as "1.5 million Wiis" and I almost fell over, but I'll take 600k any day. Especially considering this is 50k higher than last black friday, with no new game equivilant of NSMB, though DKC is close.

I can only imagine the monster of sales Wii can achieve priced at $99 or $149.99. Nintendo was smart not to cut the price. The Wii still has enough milk left.

I laughed when everyone was saying "Wii needs a pricecut or it'll be in trouble this holiday!" not realizing that it was NSMB last year that truly boosted Wii sales and not the $50 price cut. All it needs is games, which it has now (Kirby, Goldeneye, Just Dance 2, Udraw Studio and its games, Wii Party, Michael Jackson, Sonic Colors, Donkey Kong Country, Epic Mickey, etc.)

They could probably even make it through next year without a pricecut, as long as they make good on their motion plus support and start making vitality sensor stuff as well.

Crazy sales. I guess people really wanted to get their hands on some Mario and DKC. I'm surprised the Wii did better than last year.
