Just think, if Nintendo can get their production problems ( can't make enough) handled by the holidays, have the stores stocked with Wii, based on the price, they could sell 5 million of them just for X-Mas time, plus they should have plenty of new game out by then, the new Super Mario is coming out in November, hell, the new Pokemon game for the Wii is coming out in June, if folks think Pokemon is old and does not sell, the new titles for the DS, Diamond/Pearl are already over 6 million sold, 2,388,321 in the states alone and it just came out the end of April.

the wii as newest gen? are you kidding me? all it is is a supped up game cube with a crappy remote. the only reason so many sell is the price point and ease to manufacture. it has nothing to do with being "the newest best tech stuff"
