The holiday shopping season is upon us, and if your little one is craving the world's most popular gaming system, you may have a Wii problem.
Last year, Nintendo's Wii gaming console became a latter-day Cabbage Patch Kid or Tickle Me Elmo, prompting long lines of desperate parents haunting gaming emporiums and big chain stores hoping to satisfy the gaming demands of their precious little snowflakes
Well, it seems someone hit the replay button. Here comes the sequel, Quest for Wii 2007.
Electronic game retailers already are under siege, and despite Nintendo's claims that they are churning out Wii consoles at an unprecedented pace, there are few of the $250 units available for consumers.
The alternatives - Sony's PlayStation3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360 - just won't do, retailers report.
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
Someone with some intelligence could tell they have been rationing the machines so there will always be demand and bring a heck of a positive buzz. They should have opened those extra plants they scraped soon after launch, and then consumer would be more happy or kids in the majority of this matter.
Nintendo have milked the demand situation long enough. There are no cutting edge components in that box. All the components are off the shelf and they choose to starve the consumers to maintain buzz on their console.
This is pathetic, any children who want the console should be able to get one. Nintendo should just bring on Celestica and other manufacturing plants to churn these or face negative press.
is this in the 360 section again? And I don't get this.
"Through October, lifetime sales of Wii totaled 5 million, and PS3 totaled 2 million; Xbox, which came on the market four years before its competitors, leads with sales of 7.1 million."
Ugh

There are over 1.8 million Wiis produced a month. That's an awful lot of Wiis.
