1400 Wii’s Sold In 10 Minutes
It just doesn’t stop! Not only is the Wii the fastest selling console in Australia. It is one of the fastest things being sold online. With Amazon selling 1400 Wii’s for 300 pounds online, in just 10 minutes. That must be some kind of online record as well. A year on and Nintendo Wii’s are still in such high demand. I wonder how long this high demand for the Wii will last, could we see it like this in the lead up to Christmas next year?
It is quite possible, since we are at the stage now where developers have had a good amount of time to play with the Wii see what it can and can’t do. They are at the stage where they are making optimum use of the controls (take Metroid Prime 3 for example) the controls are just amazing. The way you have to use the Wii remote to open doors is fantastic and the kind of innovative gaming the Wii has brought about.
I think this may just be the beginning, I am sure Nintendo will bring out newer Wii’s in the years to come that will build apon the current control system, with more accurate sensors, better graphics system.

Th Wii does seem to be worth getting, Atm, I can only thing of 3 or more games that I’d wanna get, LOZ:TP, MP3 and probably Super Mario Galaxies (galaxy? i can’t remember). Either way, I’ll probably get one soon enough
