Go Wii Go

Boy did I underestimated the popularity of Nintendo's new gaming console, Wii. This thing was released nearly 4 weeks ago and the buzz continues. People were lined up last night outside of Best Buy stores just to be one of the lucky few customers today. You would never catch me lining up overnight. I'm not a console kind of guy. I'm a PC gamer who loves shooting baddies with a mouse and keyboard but I do like to keep somewhat in touch with what goes on in the console business. Sadly, I do agree that consoles are the future of gaming.

What I really enjoy witnessing with the current round of console battle is seeing Nintendo stealing Sony's thunder. Not because I'm a Nintendo fanboy but rather a Sony hater. Yes, I hate Sony but that's another story. The Playstation 3 was the most highly anticipated console, expected to kick the X-Box 360 and Wii to the curb. The day it was released in North America, Ebay was flooded with listings reaching four figures. Any moron trying to cash in on the craze now will be sorely disappointed because the hype is dead. The Wii is what's on the hot list and the momentum doesn't seem to be slowing. Go Wii!!!
