I'm not at all surprised that the Wii is selling at the rate that it is - when I talk to people everyone's buzzing about the Wii, not the xBox or the PS3. I'm sure the rate will drop after the new year, but I expect them to continue selling out as soon as they hit the shelves during the holiday season. Amazon? Can you help a brother out? 1 million units sure, but I can’t seem to find one to buy without the insane $600 “bundle” deals.

I have to admit though, they do look pretty neat. Yes, at close to 1/3 of the price, it’s not AS surprising how well they are selling. I have to admit though, they do look pretty neat.

I assumed that was a given, although a million in just two weeks really is quite impressive. Are we supposed to be surprised that it’s outselling the PS3?

Pretty damn cool... Having tivo, I never watch commercials, but in the now playing list they had a Wii Commercial. Two asian guys show up at random peoples doors bow and present the Wii. I think the reason the Wii will be more successful than the PS3 and Xbox in terms of unit is it has more mass appeal. Not as complicated games, and really something more people will be able to play without all the complications. Tennis, Bowling, even the boxing games look like fun as you actually swing and move with the joystick. I might ask for one for xmas now..
