Wii is effectively sold out everywhere, I only got lucky to find one... and had to wait in line before the store opened on the day the shipment came in, along with about 50 other people to get one.. needless to say, they were sold out in minutes... and this was nearly 4 months after the consoles launch! So much for it being an "impulse buy" as Sony people claim... and as far as Bill Gates calling the Wii crap, and graphics trump all.... Gates, get back to me when your SQL Server can actually deliver on the promises you gave on it over 7 years ago you schmuck.
In less 1/3 of a year, Big N has sold over 6 million Wii's... and not remotely met demand... to put that in perspective... with over 15 months of sales the MS machine has sold < 10 Million.... So in 4 months Nintendo has sold 60% or more of the total sales of 360s has managed in 15 months.
The arrogant geeks in Sony and MS are having their shirts fed to them... Graphics may drive your wet dream desires, but most folks don't like sitting in a dark room for hours alone pretending to kill monsters in FPS with no friends or family to do things with....
Most of the rest of us have girlfriends/wives/family/friends/kids or basically LIVES. You make and market your product for people who just lock themselves in rooms for hours looking at blinking lights on the TV while mashing buttons... you have a very very very limited market appeal.
Big N owns this generation in terms of installed base, Sony's #1 position in console sales is over. Broaden appeal, and market, price it right, and you sell more.. simple model, and its paying off big time for Nintendo.
Sony is doing very well -- their console is at #2, behind the Wii and ahead of the 360. Their problem is that those stats are for sales of the five year-old PS2. :)
