Wii Art Thou?

It’s been many months and I still don’t have a Nintendo Wii of my own, but I’ve played one several times, had fun doing it, and still want one.

Meanwhile Nintendo continues to sell them like cake – perhaps if I was willing to get up early and stand in line I’d have one, but I’m far to busy and need my rest to do that. And so Icontinue to plow through recent DS games while keeping an eye out.

Apparently Nintendo is breaking records with this release, supposedly because typical non-gamers are getting a Wii. Housewives, retirees, etc. are into it so like the DS we have a new audience that doesn’t want only first person shooter and first person shooter. That’s pretty cool.

I hope the third-party game developers rise to the task as the Wii launch titles are wearing thin according to online forums and such. Of course they are, but really if you had a PS3 would it be any different? It’s coming, and figure that Wii sales will peak more if they slow down when Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 are released.
