The majority of publishers may have overlooked GameCube when bringing their mature sandbox-style titles to consoles, but the same cannot be said of Wii. EA is already officially set to deliver The Godfather: Blackhand Edition to the system and last week, Vivendi Games let slip out of Europe that a Wii build of Scarface: The World is Yours is also in development. http://wii.ign.com/articles/759/759249p1.html

Zelda sales almost 1:1 with the console. by Micah Seff http://wii.ign.com/articles/747/747353p1.html November 22, 2006 - An article is up on globeandmail.com citing Nintendo's unexpected successes with the Wii in the most important of regions, Canada. Nintendo Canada won't make an official statement regarding the exact number of units sold, but they were able to say that they did not expect the massive sell out of the Wii that they saw at the country's largest retailers. Nintendo is scrambling to deal with the shortages of Wiis everywhere. Beginning this Thursday and Friday, stores across Canada will begin receiving their second shipments of Wii units. It has been projected that retailers should be receiving up to 50% of their launch day shipments, which would make 25-40 Wiis at most major retail locations. "We're struggling to try and find a solution to a situation in which demand has far outstripped supply," says Pierre-Paul Trepanier of Nintendo Canada. "The expectation was that within a few days (after launch) Nintendo would still be [in] stock everywhere." Trepanier did confirm that despite the fact that demand is currently far outstripping supply, the company is still on track to ship 4 million units worldwide by the end of 2006. With a little more than one million of those consoles hitting North America, it seems that interest in the console outside the hardcore gaming circle has been much broader than Nintendo could have hoped for. Hopefully you europeans will show some love too. :awesome:

Recent financial figures released by Kyoto's most successful hanafuda manufacturer explain just how sickeningly rich the company is. NCL's total net assets as of September 30th, 2006 stand at US$10.86 billion. Do you know how many Rares you could buy for that? Too many! Nintendo's net sales (nothing to do with this here internet) for this fiscal year, which ends on March 31st, 2007, are forecast to be US$6.378 billion, while net profits (after the taxmen have taken their pieces of the sumptuous pie) for this financial year are expected to total US$862 million. That's quite a lot of money. http://www.joystiq.com/2006/11/24/how-much-is-nintendo-really-worth-clue-very-much/#comments http://www.nintendo.com/corp/annual_report.jsp 2006 - $4.348 billion 2005 - $4.812 billion 2004 - $4.899 billion 2003 - $4.797 billion 2002 - $5.280 billion 2001 - $4.401 billion 2000 - $5.05 billion And Nintendo is currently estimating $6.378 billion for fiscal year 2007.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aHmN0wRpsctw&refer=home "About 80 percent of advertising for Wii will target adults in an attempt to expand the video-game market beyond children and teens that have been Nintendo's traditional market, said George Harrison, the company's senior vice president for marketing. Nintendo will spend the $200 million during the next 12 months."

Wii Got One http://game-revolution.com/manifesto/view.php?id=199 I'm still disappointed it's not in HDTV. I know many people haven't gone HD yet, and they won't care as much. But it really does look last-gen compared to the 360 and the PS3. Yes, I also understand that's the whole point, and it's part of why the system is only $250. No hate mail please. Still disappointed. Heck, it doesn't even come with an s-video connector.

dude, futureshop and bestbuy are opening at 8 am for wii. I checked the latest flyers. btw, where in Canada do you live? just curious.

nov. 19 8 am from Bestbuy I wasn't planning on getting it at launch but changed by mind after reading about Matt's wii zelda impressions.

well doesn't this thread show that many of the posters here are nothing but nintendo fanboys, biased as hell. I bet if this was about nintendo wii reaching 40 million in europe all of you here would be saying it's a great accomplisment and postive posts galore.
