4 million units is not launch 4 million units is would will be availiable at the end of 2006. Look Nintendo will advertise but not now. What is the point of Nintendo putting an add on TV going on bout the Wii, then bang out December 7, people will go so the hell wot. A week before the launch that is when they hit and it will be not onli a couple of adds here and there, but full on, Hit the advertising budget over a week instead of 4 weeks early. Most people dont rember add's in the next add break, and the ppl that nintendo want to targeting these non gamers, arent going to preorder anyway thats the hardcore, the ones getting the infomation, not a random first time gamer, these random first time games will pick up a catolouge on the 1st of december and go wots this??? They will forget, but then the adds will hit, ppl will remeber, then on the 7th of December they will go in store and find it. ADVERTISING NOW WILL BE WASTED. 5-7days before when they get the relitively free advertising in catoluges.
But Nintendo are doing a form of advertising. 2day on there wii tour, they were taking machines from myer to target to david jones, to kmart, to eb. Ppl saw the crowd of hardcore games and STOPPED, they asked wot is this??? Then bang the sale pitch this is the new Nintendo Wii, blah blah blah, ya can preorder now. Advertising has to be done in store, Catolouges, Demo Machines, Instore signs, then nintendo hit em with the advertising. Unfortanetley ppl dont have long atten
