I admit I am a bit caught up in all the excitement this week ... but to be perfectly honest I don't see myself getting a another console until March of next year. By then many kinks should be worked out and availability shouldn't be an issue ANYWHERE.

That doesn't mean you can't buy more than 1, necessarily. I imagine that if all the reservers get theirs and then there are more left, then they'll let whoever buy whatever.

But what do I know about business? At one point I think it’s a bit waste of money, as Nintendo more or less already has won this next console war before it even started.

I didn't know that ... I thought since there were so many of them that Best Buy wouldn't care but that's cool ... just means that if I decide I do want to get one at launch I'll have to stand in line as well. So it looks like I won't be getting a Wii anytime soon afterall. :) But looks can be deceiving ;) Oh okay … I didn’t know that … I thought since there were so many of them that Best Buy wouldn’t care but that’s cool … just means that if I decide I do want to get one at launch I’ll have to stand in line as well.

I know there is a 1 per customer limit on reserving the Wii. At least that is what the guy at a local Gamestop told me. Hmmmm…

And my Mother who is in her 50s was giggling and laughing the whole time like a kid in a candy shop. Any console that makes that kind of impression on my mother (Gears didn't do anything for here when I showed her that on my 360) has got to be taken seriously. :) Plus I know some people who will be in line at a store and they said there is no 1 per customer limit on the Wii like the PS3 so he's going to pick one up for me if I decide to get one right away. I know I should wait but I enjoy all the energy a launch brings and being able to be among the first to play and discuss the games is always cool. ^^You may be right … my cousin who is not really much of a gamer and my Mother who doesn’t game at all were both pretty impressed by the Wii commercials I showed them.

I got bored of video games some years ago, but ever since I have heard of the Wii with it's innovative controller, I've been keeping my eye on it. Better graphics are good enough for me to watch cut scenes on a youtube video, but not enough to get me interested in playing the games. I have a good feeling that the Wii will dominate this generation. ^^^And non-gamers like myself.

I've already spoted Wii billboards and TV ads, and I doubt anyone has missed them online. That should get thigs started for sure!
