Nope, the fad is over and Wii will be selling 10 units a week for the rest of its lifetime. Meanwhile...PS3 sales will explode to 500,000 a week and hit the 200 million mark lifetime :P

Thanx. That's what I've been trying to tell people for some time now, but noone listens.

Can someone please enlighten me. What on earth is the Wii. All I keep hearing about is the PS3.

Go to the toilet; drop your pants; it'll come to you... :)

I've done what you told, and the thing came out was you

Wasn't talking to your wee.

All I heard from everyone was how much Sony rocked for the whole PS2 life cycle, but I guess it's who youhad to hang around with. I know I said Nintendo would be back but then I would get flamed on forums, by Sony Fanboys and their bad spelling and grammar, I think most of the Nintendo fans hid out in a bunker playing Melee for last generation.

Funny thing about the whole situation I was talking to a friend last night about the PS1 origins and how Nintendo laid the ground work for PS1 due to the Nintendo + Sony partnership that split up, and how the programming for the PS2 was a powered up version of PS1, so with the PS1 success Nintendo had a good part in that, then with the PS2 Nintendo still had a little bit of influence with the original PS1 model they helped make, so in the big picture of things Nintendo never was out of the game

Not just the duct tape shortages RolStoppable mentioned (lots of tape was used for holiday related shipments).

But you're also mistaken. The Wii is 2 GC with a wiimote not 1 GC.

Thankfully you Sony fans won't have to worry about lack of production. Sony will keep demand low in order to ensure sufficient supply on the hardware and just keep delaying MGS, KZ, and all other big titles till nobody cares about them to make sure there are no supply shortages.
