I dunno how many my store has, but I'd bet they're gone already.

I was at my local BB at 8:30 and the line was small so they only had like 45 Wii's. I was just going to sell it anyway...I was there on other motives anyhow.

Sometimes I think this thing only sells because it's the cheapest of the three "next gen" systems. Get rid of the snazzy controller interface and pretty much the only thing you have leftover is a Gamecube 1.5.

IMHO, game supposes to be fun, that's why I see the Wii outsells others. I love watching HD and good graphic games, but I'm not one of the good gamers. I'd rather play simple games. I don't want 20 buttons on my remotes. My day is pretty tired already with tons of things I need to remember, and the 20-buttons remote is the least I want to worried about.

Sometimes i think people who compare the Wii with other "next gen" systems are stupid Not even Nintendo see the other syustems as competition.
