Damnit Nintendo, I Want a Wii

    Nintendo really needs to get their whole Wii shortage thing together.  After being on the market for a year and a half, there should be atleast a few Wiis in the market.  But no, I haven’t seen a Wii in three months.  It was bad enough having to sit through Super Mario Galaxy without one, but now Super Smash Bros Brawl is out taunting my lack of Wiiness.  How hard could it really be to make those things?  Just go to Gamestop and buy all of their used Gamecubes and take out the processors and jam them into white boxes.  That’s all there is too it isn’t there?  Yes, Wii fanboys, I went there.

But seriously though, I know plenty of people who would buy a Wii in a second if they could find one.  I’ve got to give Nintendo credit though; if they artificially sustained the flow of the hardware,  it sure has had a great effect.  It has become the Tickle Me Elmo and now everyone wants it, even if they aren’t gamers.  It’s the same reason people wanted PS3’s or Xbox 360’s crazily when they came out.  As soon as they became readily available, the hype died down and so did the sales.  I wonder when that day will be for the Wii.
