I dont think people truly realize how big the Wii is, not only is it crushing the 360/PS3 in NDP/Media crate sales figures.... but its never even in stock?! Imagine how many units it would sell if it was readily available and not impossible to find on store shelves? Would it sell 3x more than the competition? 4x?! 5x?!!!

I think Nintendo needs to revamp production. I'm still waiting for some good 3rd party games.

[QUOTE="hummer700"]I think they would sell a little less if it were readily available, because making it hard to find makes people want it more. Though they should make it SOME WHAT available...

err....I don't think a $250 console is an impulse buy that you would pass up absent a supply constraint.

360s and PS3s are selling roughly half of what the Wii is right now despite the fact that they are sitting on store shelves everywhere... I fail to see the humor in this

It may be quote-unquote decimating competition in sales, but its being decimated by lack of games.

Oh. Well, you should rent it anyway. It's fun. Very frustrating for the first hour or so, but fun.

I'll probably get it once it becomes a budget game.

Neither am I. I liked the 2D ones (Sonic 1-3, Sonic Rush), and did not like the 3D ones at all. But I love Sonic and the Secret Rings. If nothing else, rent it and give it a shot. It's definately worth that much.

console war am over.

Seriously though I think non-games like Nintendogs, Wii health pack, Wii sports 2 , Brain Age ect will have an even bigger impact on console sales

A MONSTER huh.:|  Then where are its monster games?

I love Nintendo and all, but Twilight Princess is the only game that can hang this generation.  Nintendo is hot right now, but what happens in a year after Sony and Microsoft really step up!

The Halo's, Ratchet's, Jax's, Banjo's, Metal Gears, and price cuts will start to eat the Wii for breakfast!  Price cuts are about the only thing stoping these next gen beasts from being unleashed.

An Xbox 360 premium packed with Halo 3 for $200, and Microsoft is moving hardware just as fast.  A Blue-ray GT5 pack for $300, and the PS3 is selling like hotcakes.

You could argue that Nintendo can put a Mario Galaxy pack together for $189, but pretty soon that won't matter, because more people are going to be ready for true next gen games.:)

I don't think Nintendo can keep this pace after this year.

Or maybe you just dont want to think Nintendo will keep up this kind of pace? ;)

I dont blame you because the reality is the Wii will pass the 360 in mere months ;)

I like how people point out that the other consoles will experience price cuts in the future, causing them to compete more with the Wii. You people think Wii will stay at its current price once that happens? If anything, the Wii is the system most poised for a cut. Nintendo didn't even want it priced as high as it is to begin with. They're already making a profit with each one sold, so they have a lot of breathing room. Plus, the Wii has plenty of big games already announced, and you can bet even more will be announced in the coming months that will rival the big names of the other systems. The Wii will continue this dominance and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
