Yes, Canadian Money FTW.

Well something earlier this week happened I thought I would never ever ever ever hear or see in my lifetime.

I got a call from my dad on his way home from the state fair and he was asking me if I have ever seen this "Wii fit" thing. I of course said yes, well said I seen it online and what not, never actually seen one in person. But he was saying how it was amazing and neat and what not.


Then yesterday my brother called me and told me that he bought a Wii and Wii fit. I couldn't believe it. And my dad is also a man who searches online for a long time to find a good deal and stores until he will save money on anything. Yet he bought them for still $60 over their suggested retail price.

So I don't care what your 3 facts say, the Wii isn't going to die.

Edit:  Reason saying never though would ever happen is cause my dad and mom are the type that won't let me even bring my games to where I live.  I have to sneak them there.  I have to even sometimes show them my computer has no games on it.  Meaning I have to uninstall my games just for that sometimes.  And I'm 23.  How bullshit is that.

I apologize if the tone was overly offensive. Still, your opinion is based on absolutely nothing; it's just "I don't like Nintendo's games, so there's no way they will sell a lot of Wiis." Uhh, great...

That's nice and all, but it's pretty unconvincing given that Nintendo has stated in their own fiscal results (where lying is a federal crime) that they plan to move 51m Wiis by the end of March 2009. Look for yourself (info on page 11): http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2008/080730e.pdf

I find Nintendo's sales forecast to be a lot more persuasive than "random Internet poster." 

"I apologize if the tone was overly offensive. Still, your opinion is based on absolutely nothing; it's just "I don't like Nintendo's games, so there's no way they will sell a lot of Wiis." Uhh, great..."

My opinions aren't based on "nothing" as you say. They are based on watching this industry and its trends very closely since the early eighties. Also, I have degrees in English literature, psychology, and religion plus an inherited natural ability to look deep into the minds and mindsets of people. My father was a both a leading prosecuting and criminal defense attorney in his lifetime. My opinions might seem like trolling or hocus pocus to some people; however, I swear that I am what Anton Lavey would call a great "cold reader" into trends and human behavior.

I'm going to put a tab on this post and bring it back up in a year or so to see just how right you are.

A degree in religion??? Thats pretty much nothing dude...Ability to look deep into minds??? O...K.......Why are you telling us about your dad??? Is he the one telling you to write this?........ Well, your opinions are far for being based on watching this industry carefully. Because if that is the case, you wouldnt just say those things about the wii. Anyone that is aware of what is going on in this generation, knows at least this:

Wii wont stop selling, for a loooooooooong time. It doesnt matter what you say about the games, it wont stop. Things like wii sports, wii play, wii fit, and wii music will do more than Gears of War 2 and every game coming out for the X360.

And as the opposite of what you said, every week i see the wii having higher sales than the ps3 and the X360 combined. I dont see less people buying the wii. But lets wait for this holiday season...lets see if that degree on religion can prove something....it will be a first-time for religion.

The three real reasons Nintendo should worry:

1. The author doesn't like Nintendo.
2. The author's roomate doesn't like Nintendo.
3. The author's mom... just bought a Wii.

Make that two reasons.

The guy who wrote points 1 and 2 obviously is ignorant of how demand curves work.

Let's say that the Wii's demand curve shifts to the left due to the X360 (a substitute) price drop. What if the curve still is in a position that you are still having a shortage, albeit less at their current price?

You really need to snap out of that acid trip, it´s not healthy to be that delusional for as long as you seem to have been.

Is Paul_Warren really RolStoppable?
