the argument would be to generate more overall interest, having them fly off the shelves (potentially creating even more interest). then they could sell out for longer periods of time.
im sure they'll do fine either way.
as for el nacho. i cant decide whether to agree or not. nintendo and sony are both new items this year, but ms and sony are more comparable.

I guess a better way of wording it is this.
Sony and MS will be competing in the long haul for hardcore next gen system sales.
I believe that for the most part Sony and Nintendo will be competing next month for the "OMG IT'S NEW I GOTTA HAVE ONE OF THOSE" sales.
That's all. 10/4/2006 4:56:03 PM |

Nintendo will probably have shitty third party support in the long run (again). There will be a whole bunch of games at launch. Then one new game will come out once a month. Every other month that game will be a new version of Mario Party. 10/5/2006 7:23:32 AM |

From what I heard...They'll have pre orders online, and then its up to each individual manager on if their store will do pre order or first come first serve. Pre orders will start the 10th. Nod your head nrmiller if this is correct 10/6/2006 1:44:07 PM |

I cannot confirm or deny those claims.
All stores will be doing pre-orders, but giving out specific info via the internet is prohibited. 10/6/2006 10:17:19 PM |

probably kinda secures the wiimote to your hand so you dont fling it 30 feet accross the room and bust it into a million pieces like 40% of everyone is gonna do.

The items in the picture are gloves with straps. The straps are just that...straps. But the gloves are the actual things that go around the remote and fit...like a glove. The glove themselves have absolutely NOTHING to do with securing the remote to your hand. That's what the matching strap is for.
Josh, you are 100% wrong. Again. Please refrain from posting in this thread ever again. 10/8/2006 1:41:46 PM |
