Yeah I definitely feel good about hearing these comments finally...I was looking forward to 2008 for the Wii anyway, but this makes it even better.

What worries me is whether or not upgrades like vc require an entirely new console.

I'm all for overnight downloads if it'll keep me up to speed.

You have the best selling, fastest selling console for little more than a year and you are just now recently upgrading production? IMO i would have done this half way thru the year. Of course we know you cant slow down production because that would just be a disaster for you. But im glad you got your head straight and are trying to get on the ball with it.

He said that they're CONTINUING to increase production, not just now starting to increase production. They're already producing more than double the number Wii's per month than when they were first released.

You make it sound like they were in a coma

Oh well, it was bound to happen really.
Reaching out to the casual was the first step, you know testing the waters. Now comes the good stuff (hopefully)

Plus all those casuals have to turn non casual at some time or at least some of them will, so Nintendo isn't that dumb after all

Whatever, I've already got my wii : )

I think Nintendo underestimated how fast it was going to grow. I think we all did.

Well, don't mess w/ the underdog

Exactly! They had no reason to believe otherwise.

[blueradio]

Haha.
That's a good point.

Plus, Wii has taken over Gamecube's LIFETIME sales in just one year. I think at this rate, the price cut that is due eventually will make the Wii like a household essential. Like the T.V or something. Lol.
