Just because the supply seems good, doesnt mean the demand is low. Its just means the EU is getting a very healthy supply.

 

Yeah, demand is high. It's out of discussion. Read some comments on this site regards Wii's sale though. People all the time talk about supply constrained Wii. It isn't supply constrained in Europe any more. It won't be supply constrained in USA too. Soon. Not because of production increase but because of slow down. Slow down will come when big next gen games arrive. GTA, HS, Lair, Halo etc. People will understand - shit, I'm still playing GC...


i dont get this kind of thinking. it's not the gamers that are driving demand. it's the expanded audience. since when has the expanded audience cared about those games you mentioned? they dont care if it's got GC graphics. they really only care about how fun it is to use the Remote.

so how will great looking games with complex controls attract people who dont put so much emphasis on graphics and dislike traditional controls? yes demand will slow down but not because of those games.

The Wii bashing threads just won't die. Do the fanboys realize that this generates more buzz?



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

A console is in stock after 8 months since its release, stop the presses. I have seen the same exact threads months ago and yet I dont see much of a difference. I am glad that Wiis are in stock which means that when people go to a store they might actually get one. Impulsive buyers ftw.

 People will understand ???? What about the DS ? Did they think : Shit, I'm still playing N64, instead of playing PS2 (PSP) ? . No. They don't care about. Industry of video game are changing. Right now. You don't see this. You're are blinded.

Wii has been #1 on Uk Amazon for about 4 weeks, only dropping down a few places when it is out of stock for a few hours.

In fact for the last 3-4 weeks Nintendo has held the top 10 places on Amazon's chart most of the time with only an occasional PC/Xbox or PS item.
