So it looks like the Wii is going to be the winner right out of the gate. Apparently Nintendo has 2 million Wiis waiting for shipment for the launch and an expected 6 million units in March and an expected 11 million by the end of 2007. That means all of us, the biggest of us to the smallest of us, can enjoy a Wii.
I never really wanted a Gamecube – although I did enjoy playing it at my buddy Phil’s place – but the Wii just seems to have its heart in the right place. Nintendo went back to its roots – creating a compelling product at a nice price and watching the money roll in. And you want to know the damndest thing? Think about the name Wii. We were all in a tizzy about it and now it just rolls off the tongue. That’s marketing for you.

I was just thinking about the name thing yesterday! How we mocked it so much and now it’s perfect. Honestly revolution doesn’t fit the console at all… revolution is more of an xbox/ps3 name. If anything, it should have been the devolution… not in a bad way, but that’s more what it does xD
I am looking forward to it too. Mmm, almost tempted to do the crazy waiting at the store to get it on opening day thing :D
