Wii sales devilishly good

666 thousand units sold in June
Friday, 18 July 2008, 08:28

NINTENDO SOLD a total of 666,000 Wii units and 783,000 DS handheld gaming device in June. The family-oriented Wii is now the country's best selling video game console, while the DS is the top-selling US video game system of the month.

In addition, six of the games on June's top 10 best-selling game list are designed for Nintendo platforms, including Guitar Hero On Tour for the DS which is chock full of the devil's music.

However, at least one analyst struck a dissenting note about Nintendo's much hyped software lineup at the E3 in LA.

Hiroshi Kamide, analyst at KBC Securities, noted that "We are distinctly underwhelmed by Nintendo's presentation today...The line-up for Christmas 2008 currently looks inadequate." ยต

Suprised?

No wonder, the Wii is simply fun!

The others are no more then reworked old boxes.

The Wii is simply brilliant, before my son urged me to get one as never thought it's that much fun.
But it is!

Wii is the new standard on TV-gaming-consoles :-)

Xmas Lineup?!

They don't need a Christmas line-up. People will still be trying to get the products that came out in May or earlier. Can't get a wii-fit in a store anywhere. Same was true with the Wii, and with Guitar Hero for the Wii, and Smash Brothers.

Errrrmmm....

You can go into most shops in the UK and buy a Wii console, or Guitar Hero, or Super Smash Brothers.

Wii Fit is hard to get!

Wow

Wow! they keep on coming out with high end games that they might put themselves in the hole. Also! Whats wrong with rock n' roll and heavy metal there a lot of good music in heavy metal like Godsmack's "voices" song and "voo-doo".
