I work in the electronics section of a Sam's Club. On Black Friday, we received 70 Wiis - all 70 were sold within an hour and a half of the club's opening (in otherwords, we were depleted by 6:30 am). It was impressive. That said, we haven't received a shipment since then. Having to take at least 5 phone calls a day asking if we have any Wiis appears to be the norm.

I was about to post something akin to what you just said, nearly verbatim. I'm glad someone else caught Deering's nearly clever slight of hand.

"By hardcore love, I dont mean the hardcore love you can find on the internet."

But that's the best kind of love there is, my son.

This game is one of my favorite games of all time.

I was like 12 when I played through the game for the first time and I remember thinking at the time that if Marle was real, I'd definitely want to bang her. Hard. (especially after she would perform the otherwise useless "provoke")

POGS Wii CONFIRMED!?!? (I think I can hear someone in an Ubisoft office talking about it as we speak!!)

The game seems to depict a cadre of flying pigs. In order to see this in real life, John McCain would have to win in November.

So, I wonder if this game will be rated AO. No, seriously.

I work in the electronics department of Sam's Club and to this very day, I still get about 5-10 calls a day asking if we have any Wiis in stock. And when we do have them in stock, they sell out within a few hours of the store opening.

I can attest that at least in my area, the Wii hype train is as healthy as ever.

Dear Sir Fidlious Wong, you've missed my point. This article is comparing the 5 or 6 years of lifetime sales of one system to the very early stages of sales numbers from another. I think his argument is misleading and unnecessarily condemning.

But, to each their own! But, please - if it makes you happier - continue the predictable exaggeration and twisting of my words. : )

Let's see, the Wii is only one and half years old and even its lowest selling games have already outsold the two lowest selling games on the Gamecube by a million. The list includes a third party game - not evident in the entire run of the Gamecube - and three of the games are new intellectual properties. Yeah, it looks like the Gamecube all over again.

In all seriousness, isn't it perhaps a little premature to be making grandiose, over-the-top assessments such as these?
