Ruin3d makes a good point that about the cost, and after looking at the numbers its crazy, and seeing how meny units are up on ebay for sale, is sickning, and for the amount of units that were shiped that is crazy, the wii ont other hand had only roughly 1000 units more on ebay, however there are far more units out there, i dont know how meny exactly are up on ebay, now not only do you need a second morgage, and and for those doing papers about 5 years, of tossing the daily news. i know it sounds crazy but there are bugs in the systems, although i dont know what the wii has for bugs but even still you want to wait untill they have the second update on the system before you buy it, so that they can get all the bugs out, and it is roumord that they will be putting a dvd player in the wii in the up comming months,

The Zelda number are indeed impressive. Surpricingly enough, Zelda were not at the #1 spot on amazon.com. Rayman were. Zelda only came #4 there. I think that is a good sign for Nintendo, since they have tried so hard to get 3 party support for the Wii. But no doubt that Zelda is the biggest hit overall at the moment. Cant wait to see the final hardware and software numbers for november in the US and the japanese launch in about a week

“I can imagine the numbers being quite different (and higher) if both Sony and Nintendo had a lot of units available at launch.”

Perhaps … but we are dealing in actualities and not “ifs” and in this case Sony just flat out BLEW it. I can also imagine Sony doing better if they would have spent time doing more research on what people actually have (1080i HDTVs i.e.) and if they would have had a better plan for their blu-ray strategy.

I love hearing news like this. It silences all the naysayers … at least for the moment. I wonder how Sony feels to be in last place for the first time in a while. It is just great to see that arrogant company get some instant Karma.

Wiiiiiiiiii !!!
