CNN’s Game Over column examines Wii launch day units and TV ads. From the article:
- “It feels to me like Nintendo is going to have between 600,000 and 800,000 units at launch… expect many stores to be restocked on Black Friday..”
- Farrell added he expects Nintendo will ship 1.5 million Wiis to the U.S. by the end of the year.
- Reggie on Wii ads: “Core gamers know when we’re coming out. They’re prepared,” he said. “The advertising and marketing is for casual gamers. We want to get them excited when they can actually go out and get something, so we’ll start next week.”
Reggie on Wii ads: "Core gamers know when we're coming out. They're prepared," he said. "The advertising and marketing is for casual gamers. We want to get them excited when they can actually go out and get something, so we'll start next week."I really wish Reggie would start paying me for all these great ideas. I said this WEEKS ago.
How about.. ya know.. we get TV ads.. sometime -before- Nov 19th? As effective as magazine, billboards, tattoos on old guys are it doesn't beat a good 'ol TV ad.
hopfuly its as good as they say it is, im realy looking forward for the Wii
Wait… 1.5 million? I thought we were getting 4 million Wiis?
America isn't the only place in the world now is it? It's 4million wiis at launch WORLDWIDE. 😉 tho europe will get wii's a bit later. but still
I know. It's just that everyone has been saying there will be 4 million in American, not that will be 4 million world wide. So, I guess it was just a crap rumor.
