not too many

hopefully nintendo will launch the wii with thier best titles! zelda, metroid, etc. in the past we had to wait months after the release of the system to play zelda.

i am actually kinda looking forward to this.

until when shall we wait to be able to play legal backups
i also heard u can play gamecube games on it
that'll make sure the gamecube COUGH COUGH legal-backup secene will get a boost

That really doesn't seem like alot at all. You figure if each store that has preorders in stock is at around a thousand units, thats around a thousand stores in North America, not just the US...there will definately be more demand than supply IMO.

:) W00T! Go Nintendo! Nintendo is old school and I believe that they will fill their promises. I personally am getting a Wii, it will take time to get used to the new controlling but with hot titles such as Zelda (which doesn't use the cell shading (or whatever its called) technique like Wind Waker did) I believe it will be easy to pick up and master in a small amount of time.

Some people might think that is a Wii too many but I think it is just right!

Im really looking forward to getting a Wii, either at release or possible waiting until February. The problem with releasing a million at launch is that you kind of overflow the market. The reason Microsoft and Sony release such small quantities is because they want demand to be high for a year or more. The good thing about Nintendo's strategy is that they get their item on the market, before people can make judgements about their motion sensor idea. Could be a brilliant move, may be a bad move, only time will tell

My friend who works at gamestop said he got about 30 calls from Nintendo fans in the first hour the store opened on september 14. (when launch date and price were revealed).
If there are too many available at launch, it certainly won't be where I live.

Well, I don't know about that. I did want an xbox360 when it came out, and I wanted one up unti the end of January. By then, I had run out of extra money to spend on one, and don't really care for it anymore.

The only way i see the Wii even competing with the ps3. Although their price is reasonable in comparison. The Wii console needs to be really powerful in the graphics department and have a great variety of games available for the game console.

Come on the WII is in line to throwen this time unless SOny drops the PS3 price...with they do and don't at the same time...so far SOny is padding up the fall in japan....it dosen't look bleak mind you....but Sony right now is making MS look good...

I'm sure the NES, SNES/GENESIS, PS1, and PS2 can attest that quality really does trumph graphics.
