Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii? Not a chance

damkira on 15 December 2007

It's fast becoming the stuff of urban Christmas legend.

A gift so in demand that:

- A shopper lucky enough to get one has the parcel double-bagged so no one can see the name through the plastic, and is offered a security escort to her car by mall staff.

- A clerk at another store says he never knows when a shipment is coming in, because a truckload of the merchandise was stolen in the Toronto area -- so now they only know when the delivery shows up at the door.

It's the Nintendo Wii.

the wii could become the ipod of home console gaming like the DS has become the ipod of handheld gaming.



Damn things have changed since 2009 began. Here are my new visions for the end of the generation.

 

Wii: 135 mil

Ps3: 85 mil

360: 60 mil
