"While searching every store possible in my area looking for the Wii system for my kids I kept running into Playstation so I figured I would purchase a few and see what I can do on Ebay with them" ~ A current auction on Ebay tells a cute story of how a stay at home nanny who's only doing this because she keeps finding them on hunts for Wii's, proceeds from the sales going into her kids college funds (actually i think she says she's the gramma / aunt custodian (somethin))

kinda interesting how a system that is in pretty steady supply is more scarce than one that is not. I just wish these boneheads can leave some consoles in stores or online for the people who ACTUALLY WANT TO GET ONE OF THESE FOR THEIR KIDS TO PLAY .

~I likes me some Wii

Ill takes me some PS3

there ya go ... she has 6 of them

Heh, I was asking myself the same question.

and the point of this is what?

who cares what the point is

if you knew how to see subtle points then you wouldn't need to ask

but the point is that all these kids want is a Wii and al their gramma can find are ps3's ... which means that people are leaving them on the shelves

See, that's what you should have said since the beginning.

I wouldn't say that this is a surprise, though... after all, the Wii will definitely look more appealable to kids than any other console, IMO. Factor in the cheap price (compared to other consoles) and it's a no brainer for any parent out there.

It's the same thing down here - Wii are all sold out while there are plenty of PS3 on shelves.

yeah, but just wait until they do find a wii and are in the market for a new tv...

Right because of one photo and a story you now believe this?

Talk about gullible.

Wii is taking a risk, but they're probably going to hit big. The simpler model brought a lot more people into gaming, and the complexity of recent systems has driven many away. I wouldn't think about buying the other systems (though I'll gladly play them occassionally on a buddy's), but I'm seriously considering a Wii.

The games define a system. Wii does appeal more to the kids.
