Wii Hardware \ Hurry up Nintendo

Kudos: 6

Mates: 0

I work at a retailer for Wii and I am getting concerned that if Nintendo doesn't hurry up with issuing more consoles and accessories, people are going to use their saved up money for the PS3. Yesterday we got our demo model of the PS3 and have set it up where the Wii stand was. It was sad to see the Wii go but we had to stop advertising something we just can't sell right now. February seems to be the earliest time for more Wii acessories which is leaving it so late. So anyways, hurry up Nintendo!
P.S. The PS3 does look mighty fine I must admit...

yeah but ps3 is in much the same boat as Nintendo with not being able to produce enough consoles and peripherals to keep up with the market. by march i reckon the shelves were the wii sits will be a lot fuller.

From what I've heard PS3 hardware just isn't selling. Backed up in US stores and getting flogged in the Jap market.

I can forsee an XBOX360 price drop in the near future thats going to make it quite affordable. This could be another avenue people may explore if there isnt an improvement soon. Ive been saying this all along but nintendo really needs to keep people interested in the wii. They cant afford to have people looking at other systems

Err...dude, you're right....recently I just bought X360 with GRAW. Now I've got Gears of War and Splinter cell: Double agent. I still use my Wii for Mii parade and occasional Zelda blissful gaming - but the game releases at the moment is pretty mediocre...I mean Far Cry???

But like all new console releases, it will take some time before good titles can be produced. It took X360 one year for its kick ass titles to come out e.g Gears of Wars, Vegas, Lost Planet to name some.

I dont think the games situation is too bad, admittedly cos im on holidays i have been running out of games to play, but im willing to wait for the good ones to come.
so far I have zelda, rayman and marvel coming in a few days. Along with sports and sonic (go the megadrive!) its enough to last untill games like wario, DBZ, elebits, trauma centre come out. Maybe I'll even pick up COD3 i hear its alright.
Only problem is that there isnt enough Wiimotes around! (or wiiplay either)
When games like MP3 and mario's start coming out i think we will see a steady stream of good games
