Forums - Nintendo - Grandson sneaks on eBay, uses Grandpa's account to buy Wii

FaithRaven on 20 August 2008

"Archie Lovett is one sneaky kid. Not only is he adept enough at using those computer things, but apparently he's got a good memory, too. See, he used his Grandpa's account, UK resident Ray Atkinson, on eBay, remembering the username and password, to place a £197,654 bid on a Wii. The best part? The kid already has one."

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

And they say 360 and PS3 are bad influences with the violent and graphical content on their consoles, look what Nintendo's doing, they make people commit identity theft!

Seriously though, a second Wii? you sure it wasn't the grandpa who wanted the wii and realised it wasn't worth that much and just blamed the kid for it?
