Its nothing personal, but myself (and most of my friends) are all *very* anti-American. Especially recently (yes, thanks George W...).

That said, we don't think much of the direction that Australia is heading in at the moment either (following the US far too much - all waiting for the end of the year, to kick Johnny & the Liberals out of office...).

I do have a few friends who are American, and I like them a lot... many of them share the same views as me.

I can generally sum it up by saying there is a (perceived?) attitude that Americans care about themselves much, much, MUCH more than people around them (let alone people in other countries...). This is what has screwed the world over, as it is today...

Boy, you are worryinge too much. Even Wii win this generation and it doesn't mean the platform you love or the game you love will disappear. PS3 or XBOX360 will keep thier life time until their successor take their role. PS3 will lose their market share only in compare with PS2. However, game is still out like what Nintendo do in N64 and GC. If you love your playstation, put more constructive comments rather than blame other platforms. This is so call childish ! 

What are the top selling games right now for PS2 and Xbox? FREAKING GUITAR HERO!. Its not exactly complex or graphics intensive. Heck, its just pushing buttons whenever the little color things come by. The casual gamer thing has caught on with the other platforms too. Its not something Wii has a monopoly on.

Maybe Kwaad is on to something. I just went to itrackr and it said 2 of 4 locations in my area had Wii in stock.

I didn't know they were that easy to get.

I just looked and wii national availability was like 38%.

Guitar Hero Xb360 was only like 16% 

Well demand for the Wii is effectively dropping ,as it is show by the march data ....259K consoles sold is a big drop from the data of january and february .In my country the Wii has been easily available since at least 2 months .You go to a shop and there you have it ,at least 5-7 Wiis there . Still ,Kwaad ,I think your argument is a bit flawed .It is a bit on the vein of the "PS3 are already available in stores so everyone that wants one has already one !So it wont sell anything more !" .If that was the case the X360 would have dropped its sales dramatically once it had normalized its stock ,and the same with all the other consoles . I think Wii has to find its sales ground .Usually Nintendo consoles wipe out the first 6 months and then start to lose some ground .THe Wii has dropped its numbers the two last months in NA (and somewhat in Japan as well ) ,maybe it will stabilize at 250-260K units maybe it will drop further .The PS3 on the other hand seems to have stabilized around the 130K number ,and in Japan it is living a unusual situation due to the extreme software drought so its numbers arent very "real " ...most people interested in buying one because future games arent any pressed to buy one ,they wait until those games are out to purchase the machine .In any case it is difficult right now to make comparisions ....to do that we should wait until the PS3 has a solid software support in Japan and the Wii is currently available in NA .

Well here in the little German town of Aachen, the Wii has been available now for almost 10 days. The two biggest electronic stores have them, and it doesn't look like they are selling out. It was the same in Koeln last week too. I could probably have found 10-15 Wii's here at any time in the past week. I haven't seen anyone buying when I was in the shop, but the stack of Wii's was not the same everytime I went there, I think it was selling. They have a PS3 mountain and I have only seen *1* missing (bought) from that stack. (You can tell easily because they make a box shape with them.)

I like when my name is called. SCARCASM??? Yeah he's scarred alright. Scared too. Might as well put a patch over the green elf's eye like Sagat.

Hey Kwaad: Wii has already won the 7th generation and will go on to be the biggest selling and most influential console of all time.

Pass it on.
