I had to work for it though. lol


11/18/06 - 6pm EST
I started out by getting my laptop and DVDs all together along with a portable propane heater. Then I went to the local target and got a spot on line,,,I got a spot of # 47 and they had 120 game units along with like 1,000 remotes which was great.

Long story short...some guy tried to cut in line, he left in an ambulance :(
At 9am the next day and lots of cold weather (it got down to 40°F) the store opened and we got Wii's

I tell ya, I have never been a real fan of the Play stations but the PS3 looks like the PS2...they also sell for allot more than the Nintendos...but anyways...

I just can't believe how advanced these Wii remotes are...they know so much on what position they are in the room.

best game I like is off the sports disk that came with it...Bowling, followed by golf, followed by tennis....they are all just great.
I also got Zelda.

My dads thinking of getting a nice big TV for our basement as its down really low in price at best buy...hes thinking of getting something around 46 inches...High Def., wide format as well.

Rofl, I just looked at your siggy Popo. Thats pretty sad. I knew it wouldnt sell well. Anyways, yea i heard that they were givin out Wii's. Which is abit odd to me, but hey, its a good deal. I saw the commercials, the games look a tad umm. childish lmao, sword fighting and bowling and stuff. But ehh whatever floats your boat

It's a shame that NexGen Wars can't keep correct information. Even while going through numerous sales, Nintendo shipped out more than 600,000 consoles to US stores before Day 1. Since I have not known one of those stores to have even one remaining Wii, Nintendo would have sold over 600,000 consoles the first day.

Though yeah, I have a friend that now has a Wii. I'll explain more in a bit - via Edit ;)

Hmm what happened, the counter went down. The site is estimates, just a general guide to who is selling more, not exact numbers, I'm not really sure I trust their numbers, we'll wait and see when Nintendo states how many were actually shipped by the end of the year and see if the numbers match up. It should get more accurate over time, the 360 sales are pretty much dead on, assuming this is based off of shipments, someone made a little goof with the Wii counter :/
