The Nintendo Wii will launch tonight in the US (3 week until Australian release), just two days after the PS3 was released to a somewhat hostile reception. This hostility was not in fact towards the PS3, every single shipped console is now predicted sold, the real violence was amongst those wanting a PS3. Across the whole of the country, the massive shortages of PS3 consoles caused shootings and hospitalizing injuries, all just for a games console, quite ridiculous.

So that’s enough of the PS3. Nintendo has hopefully done enough to prevent any of the madness of the PS3 launch to affect the Wii’s launch. The stock at each store is an estimated 5 to 6 times more than what Sony shipped for their launch. Good luck to anybody going out in search of a Wii tonight, we hope your adventure is fruitful and that you have plenty of coffee to keep you playing until morning.
