Rofl. That's not many units, and those few have been bought. Wow, I'm glad I'm not Sony. I've got my money on more Wiis being sold than 88,400 the first HOUR of its launch!

Supposedly they are already appearing on Ebay etc.

AMEN! Brother.

I remember at my Gamestop the Wii preorders sold out an hour and a half BEFORE the store opened!

Master Foot said:

For an over hyped system, that is pathetic. SERIOUSLY! I was expecting a complete sellout since there were such limited quantities. Is this a prediction of what will happen in the US? Probably not, but Americans are gullible enough to fall for Sony's hype machine. All Wii needs to do is to get some damn concrete 3rd party apps.

Some Random Hobo said:

Well I guess since they priced it so high they actually deserve it.

Ekaj185 said:

Yeah, the Wii will sell like 250% of the units. By the way there's only 100%! LOL.

itstimetoplaydawii said:

Lol!

Stupid Sony they lost before they even started.

Harock said:

Damn straight mate lol. I love that pic. Sony you made a big mistake this time.

I don't get it, a giant enemy crab? What?

Jrapocalypse said:

LOLOL eat Wii. Sony that is so funny I think I pi**ed myself. If a console does not sell or do well in gaming country (Japan) then it is doomed here in the US, finally sony will fall. I knew this would happen and that they would not last long. Sony you have been Wii'd on!

Ras said:

Well it's already set in stone Nintendo will sell more Wiis on release and the following two months, because they will ship four millions units on release as compared to Sony's initial two million. Also Nintendo and retailers agree Wii's supply will be outstripped by demand. The big battle is in longevity of the console and games and this is where things get hazy for me. I do have faith in Nintendo, I'm just hoping all the game developers will finally come back after abandoning the n64 and Gamecube. From the news on this site and other press releases though, it seems they are making their way back to Nintendo. Where the consumers are is where the developers will be.

Wow ps3 must be not as popular as Wii.

Scooby!_Jew said:

Well I didn't see this coming. Just kidding. I along with millions of others knew Wii was going to stomp all over Sony. As we predicted; We were right.

sinappipipo said:

Wii60 FTW!

Master Foot said:

I also don't get the giant crab thing. Anyways, it really does seem bleak for Sony. This could be because there are no RPG launch titles but 88000 systems on hypeday is sorry.

Long live the queen of england (Wii).

dawoyston said:

HAHAHA - that about sums up my thoughts for poor old sony!

frankthetank said:

The japanese are more style over substance. Look at the cars, horse power is not the main focus. Performance is. Wii will dominate overseas and Nintendo will regain its throne it created.

wii-mote dude said:

Sony just keeps making me happy. Wow, even though I hate them they can still bring a smile to my face.

BrothaZ said:

GOOD. PS3 probably didnt sell so much because of its price for one thing. Another is that Nintendo was ALWAYS better than sony anyway. N64 was better than playstation, and that came around again. I just hope that Nintendo gets better graphics for all of their games FAST. Then they'll be #1!

Sony said:

Don't blame us it's all Nintendo's fault! The frequency of their sensor bar interferes with our patented Brain-Control-Station and now we can't upgrade the consumers to "Must_buyPLAYSTATION" Version 3.0.

cubeboy101 said:

The developers don't back sony because they fancy them or something, it's all about userbase. If Wii does a ds there's YOUR USERBASE, Wii not ps3 becomes the lead format. Those fanboying ps3 are fanboying a dying and very stale gaming set up. Those supporting Wii can see the amazing impact it can have. I just wish sony goons would admit this instead of trying to defend a long loadtime drive and a 16 bit era based control pad. Even my old mum would be able to work that one out. Sony zealots call us fanboys, wait a second I ain't the one making myself look daft supporting d-pad based AGED control pads and giant crabs.

Jake said:

You know what? Wii is going to be tons better than PS3 anyway.

itstimetoplaydawii said:

Wii will Wii will rock you! (to sony).

New Wii-land said:

Unfortunately for sony they could only find 88,400 people who wanted a blu-ray dvd player, because it's not like you'd buy it for the games.

rushle said:

Dude the Wii will kick its ass.

DragonFoxCoon said:

Quoting the famous Nelson: "HAha!".

lol the PS3 blows! said:

Here in england some people are like omg the ps3 owns! But in reality it blows! It will be 400 GBP over here! Dude when it gets here it won't sell one console! (maybe 3 lol). I knew Nintendo would come out on top. I'm going to my local shopping center Bluewater (the biggest one in Europe) and I'm going to play the Wii! *kirby dance*.

jskrdude said:

To be honest, I hope the Wii does horrible in the first few weeks of its release. I'm starting to get in a sweat over whether I'll be able to get a Wii! It's released on Monday 12:00AM where I am. I have school until 3:15, then a chess tourney thing until later in the evening. My only hope is that one of my parents can buy it around 5:30pm, when they're off from work but they'll just give up at the first bought-out store. PLZ LET ME GET A Wii! Anyone else worried?

Epsilon said:

Wow, I expected a sellout within the first few hours.

floopy doop said:

Who can afford it anyway?

WiiTard said:

Ps3 sucks!

Ablex said:

In a local wal-mart they only had 4 ps3's (I think they were trying to save people the disappointment).

floopy doop said:

Nice try PS3, but Wii so totally outdid you.

Rosario said:

It's funny because everyone's buying it just to resell it for 3 times a much. It's selling on Ebay for $3000. I'm ashamed to be american at times like this lol. I'm sorry but I don't need a $600 system when the Wii is so much better.

DUDE said:

Aren't we supposed to criticize the xbox as well!

wii man2 said:

Hey. Who let a Sony fan on Wii world? Hmm.

WII ROCKS said:

Stupid sony. Thought they would be better than Nintendo. Nintendo Wii owns ps3 in every aspect. Even with the name "Wii win".
