Wii
Has anyone watched/played this system in the mall? It is crazy. The controllers are like motion sensitive. I think the system is only $250. I'm curious who will do better in sales - Nintendo or Sony.

Nintendo will just because they didn't release a mere 400k systems on the first day of release like Sony did.

And, they aren't nearly as expensive to begin with. Smart move on Nintendo's part.

Didn't get one *sniffle*
Which is not surprising as I didn't pre-order one OR wait in line at midnight.

I think parents will also favor this system because it encourages physical activity. It won't replace an old fashion work-out, but it will definately burn some calories. I wonder had Nintendo taken that into consideration, or it's just a coincidence.

LOL! That's exactly the argument that my 9-year-old keeps making. "But Dad, you get exercise while you're playing it."
I will admit that it looks way cool. He's still not getting one, though.

My friend bought one yesterday. We played the Wii Sports games, they were pretty fun. I went undefeated in boxing and I'm actually pretty sore from it.

Haha yeah silly Sony. They didn't do any thinking and randomly picked a price tag and number to release to US customers. Haha.

My boyfriend and I actually ended up getting two the day it came out. Woke up early waited in line, etc. We have had a lot of fun playing it... the other one will probably go to his two younger brothers for christmas. He took his down for thanksgiving and they had a so much fun playing it. The whole family were playing rounds of golf.

I'm wanting to get one of these, but it seems they are next to impossible to find.

While PS3's apparently gather dust on the shelf.
Yes I'm a Wii fangirl and want one really really badly.
