Japan: 27th November to 3rd December
Ps3 sells 187,836 units (opposed to xbox360's lifetime best of 178,070)
but the gutsy little Wii tops a whopping 350,358 in its first two days on sale
story from Spong.net
and on a even happier note, it appears Nintendo have responded to the design fault in the Wii-mote strap, GoNintendo are reporting new shipments of Wii are coming with a much thicker tether. Just in time to save some European TV screens. Or was it really a fault at all?

AAHH!! The Wii... Constant mainstream advertising, plus the fact that the Nintendo DS has somehow got under my Sega alligned skin, made me a Nintendo fan boy, and has made me desparate for this particular console. My next gen boycott might crumble before the New Year. I'm off to bed to say two 'Our Fathers', one 'Hail Mary' and three 'I love you Dreamcasts' before I rest my weary eyes...
ReplyDeletehave made a current console post on GGOTG
Hope to here from you soon!
(Hangs about nervously awaiting response from blogging hero...)
Oh, and my beloved nymph got me on... A Wii that is. Bloody fantastic, really...
ReplyDeletenymph? where? Heading over to GGOTG as we speak (in a time morphing day late sort of a thingy......) and Wii's virutal console retro downloads are coming thick and fast....
ReplyDeleteAh... yes... nymph indeed. Havent connected the Wii to the net yet though... By the Way Wii Sports is immensly enjoyable and don't get me started on Zelda...
ReplyDelete...you've got wii..... ?
ReplyDelete(mouth falls open.... a million questions rise to this tongue..... elderly refrains mindful of overburdening the woodland creature.....)
pray tell how fares it?, about Zelda.. ooops im sorry I haven't even offered you a cup of tea yet...... maybe we could have the tea over in your house, then you can tell me all about it...
(elderly hands gnome his coat, pushes the now helpless creature out the door in front of him.....)
(gnome fumbles wth keys, drops them, retrives them, drops 'em again, finally opens door)
ReplyDeleteNow... Let me get the tea and we begin.
Oh, yes I do have a Wii. See, you started fiddling with it... And it is feckinf fantasticaly fabulous...

Why.. stay... I wont be long.... Just down break anything... The Wiimotes are highly volatile...
ReplyDelete(elderly considers his affinity with electronic equipment.....)
ReplyDeleteno it's probably best i wait in the hall... but thank you for display such blind trust........
(elderly considers his inability to leave things alone......)
better chain me to the radiator while your at it.....
I'm happy to hear that the Wii could come on to this generation. But with that said, you don't let go of a bat/tennis racket/golf club/baseball bat during a game. Why would you do that with your Wiimote. and if you fear such is the case, why not STRAP THE STRAP ONTO YOUR WRIST.
ReplyDeleteIf lawsuits ensure on any continent over this I'm going to have to re-evaluate my theory on humanities collective intelligence.
apparently it's all too easy to get caught up in the games, the strap even strapped to the unfortunate gamer came lose from it's housing and the Wii-mote displaying remarkably aerondynamic properties set sail for the TV screen.....
