My friend called kmart to ask if they were going to have wii in and they hung up on him. I guess they took the word wii the wrong way.

Yes Wii is pretty crappy, but you know darn well that EVERYONE remembers the Wii name.

No, it's an example of incompetent sales associates at KMart. If you work in a specific department (electronics, automotive, etc.) of a retail store you should be aware of the new trends in this area. If the KMart he called did indeed have a Wii, then they just lost a customer. ;)

I could see them not getting any PS3s at launch, but I'm sure they'll get Wiis.

From a marketing standpoint its really smart. As cool as "Revolution" was, Wii is Nintendo's own creation. It'll catch on - if it hasn't already.

I see in the near future (2years) at all Flea Markets.......... Wii for sale. Take this piss off my hands....... $20 dollah buy fo you!

I'll say again....... The controller will be it's downfall. They may even drop it and provide a normal controller for it.

Maybe to you but the controller is the sole reason I will buy the console...

Just imagine playing a game like COD2 on it or something similar.

Well according to the CoD2 reviews I have read, it takes a few minutes to adjust to the thing and after that it feels quite natural. Certainly makes a nice change to the way we play games, and if any genre needs shaking up it's the FPS genre.

I won't be buying any gaming consoles this year or anytime in the near future.
The only entertainment device I'll be buying is an HD-DVD player late next year, and that's it.
I have an Xbox collecting dust with about 15 games that I never play. I'm just stating why the WHEEEE controller will be its downfall. I have a pc for games I like to play.

i agree. i would suggest naming it 'oldsmoboat's law', but i think that sounds a little too gimmicky and im sure it'll never catch on.
