I felt expected to get Twilight Princess with my Wii, even though I havent played any other Zelda game. Yes, I love it.

Good news for everyone, bad news for me. I still can't find one. Wish me luck on Sunday though I'm going to go around to all the retailers in Appleton and bug them until they sell me one. 600,000 units sold? Awesome! Weren't there 4,000,000 initially shipped out though? It seems like there should have been more sold. I think another thing that would help sales would be to actually let people play them in stores. Every store I've gone to has had them behind a glass case with a promotional video playing. I haven't even seen a controller yet! If consumers could actually experience the Wii in-store, I think more people would be interested.

Good job. But, these are impossible find everywhere. I see TP in at local stores a lot. Managers at some (not all) department stores are retards. At one store, a lady said that there would be Wii's on the shelves by Sunday. Later on, I call to check to make sure if they are keeping up with plan. WHEN I talked with the manager on the phone, they said they sold them on Saturday! I was OUTRAGED! Luckily for that manager, I didn't blow up at him.

The Wii is the best console ever!

I knew this would be the best console ever. I've preordered it and I am busting to get it, it's so cool.

Errr it's 4, 000, 000 units shipped by the end of the year. They are shipping 200, 000 plus a week.

Itstimetoplaydawii, I feel for you. I was one of the VERY lucky ones who got a Wii in the 7 minute Amazon UK sell-out. And that lady was a retard. She must be related to Sony.

The reason 600,000 have been sold is because that's how many have been released in the states. The rest have been shipped (however, not released) to all the other regions.

This gonna sell more than the Playstation 3!

I already have the Wii and it's awesome!

So from now on it's officially beating the PS3! I'm kind of annoyed that I can't get one though.

If you see a Wii console in a koisk, but no controllers, it's because you have to ask for the controllers and give them a valid ID. This was decided by Nintendo so people could get full motion of the wiimote without being tethered to a kiosk. However there are no signs saying this and many people are mistaking them for just viewing promotion and not actually playable. They are though.

The initial idea hit me hard but the specs hurt me. AA batteries? No DVD player? But screw it, Wii is way better than PS3 or 360. I mean Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Zelda, Twilight Princess. Its great. Is it just me or should they make Mario Kart?

Just to know my purchase has to do with this makes me smile.

Given PS3's manufacturing problems, it will never reach Wii numbers by next year. NEVER!

I feel for itstimetoplaydawii, except that going to a department store is never a good idea; you'll ALWAYS get the retards. And again, Nintendo rules! Sony drools!

Good job to everyone who got one. I still have hope on getting one before 2007, but it's somewhat slim. I'm traveling to a huge city soon, so it could be a little easier to find one. According to Best Buy, Wii hardware is available in BLACK or PINK. I would personally like a black one.

I'm pretty sure they will give it a mario kart game, I think every major Nintendo console to date has had at least one.

Wiipaw!
I hope (as with almost every other Wii game) that if they make Mario Kart Wii, they make it Mii compatible.

Hey Elementrat, in Canada almost all Zellers, Future Shops, Best Buys and whereever else they sell the Wii, has an in-store playing place where people can play the Wii with a store employee there to switch games and make sure everything is going good.
