1. 3 weeks remain

2. Only 3 weeks… how do I make them past faster… well, time flies when you're having fun right? Well, let me think… there hasn't been any fun around here lately, as a matter of fact, Playing the Wii was the next fun thing I was going to do… Can't have fun without the Wii, don't have one, need to have fun to make time fly and get the Wii………IT'S AN UNSOLVABLE PARADOX!

3. Personally I preffered th previous videos with everyone in white. I guess these are more down to earth though.So what do you guys think about the lack of marketing in the Wii? Are they just gonna let it sell itself after the fusion tours and the Nintendo parties or do you guys think closer to launch there'll be a big boom in publicity?

4. liraco, while part of me is of the old-fashioned "must see it on TV and in magazines" advertising type, the other part sees that Wii has been in niche venues like Men's Health (we posted on it last week) and everyday people's living rooms (our exclusive look into families like Tracey Clark's from last month). There are placards up in Targets and all of the usual places like EB Games, and banner ads have been spotted on UK game sites. That's in addition to the Fusion Tours, as you said.I guess all someone like me can say is be patient. Every Wii set aside for Nov. 19 is basically sold, so the real marketing doesn't have to begin until the following couple of days after that (Black Friday). Unlike some other game companies, Nintendo will have plenty of stock for the biggest shopping day of the year, I think, so watch for more then.–jack
