2 Million for North American Launch?

[JeremyDay]

By the way, my recent trip to Ebay shows 333 consoles for sale. Many of which are identified as EBGames and Gamestop preorders.

I've written an email to Nintendo . . . suggesting they exert some clout against the practice of their systems being preordered and sold before they are even purchased. It seems unethical and perphaps . . . illegal.

I also saw mention of some of the sellers saying they were Gamestop employees . . . saying they had a system for themselves and one more . . .

I'm going to contact Gamestop and suggest they curb such practices. I don't care if they work at Gamestop . . . it certainly doesn't mean they should have access to the product before others. It shouldn't mean they can sell an extra on EBay for profit. Unethical . . . and surely a blight on Gamestop's reputation.

If I can't be comforted by having a preorder . . . I'm going to cause some problems :P.

need help on this eb/gamestop thing? i want to crush them as well. I called eb the night before, they said they would get less then 20 but 10? eh.... sounds like the employies took most the pre orders and i dident get one becuse of that.... now i really hate eb. I already have twighlight princes preorderd thier, but im thinking of just getting it someplace else.

Don't forget that the US release is the only launch on November 19. There is almost a month between that and the rest of the world launches for them to produce even more consoles.

The number of 360 owners that want both systems is very high. I believe we'll see a larger number of Wii's (in comparison to the 360) sold before the end of the year at the latest.

I don't think the demand for the two systems is anywhere near what you say . . . just my opinion.

Thanks,

You must also consider those lucky 10-20 people per Gamestop that have already pre-ordered. You know those 10-20 hardcores would be camping out the night before the 19th as well. So... we won't have to compete with them at the big box stores.
