flameboy Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Ok so last week from some sides I took a beating for my negative feedback about my comments on what I had heard customers say about the Wii, but at the end of another hard day at work, I came back much happier that word of mouth seems to be spreading and the Wii is building up momentum. had numerous people coming and preordering the machine. heard people talking about it and knowing thier facts. All sorts: groups of boys, older people, groups of girls aswell (tons of them in getting their pink DS lites!) seems a genuine enthusiasm is starting to build up. Even had an old couple who were buying a DS and Brain Training for themselves asking me about it. I used my till scanner-zapper to kind of explain the wiimote and the old man seemed well impressed with it commenting "Thats clever, my grandchildren play on these things with controllers that I just don't understand, this is much more my kinda thing" I instantly imagined him with a WW2 helmet on ducking behind his sofa playing Call Of Duty 3 for some reason!!! I told him to pop back soon as Brain Academy was coming to the Wii! So maybe people saying the Wii won't appeal to all ages/groups (myself included in some respects) and therefore won't be considered a success. I mean I love the Wii everything it stands for etc.... and I love the fact that more people seem to be buying into it. So a much brighter picture than last week from my perspective. One slight grumble our new staff shirts have 360 plastered all over them, in promotion of our 360 chart games from £37.95... but thats nothing Nintendo can't beat I'm sure.
Kazzahdrane Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 The last couple of days have been fairly DS/Wii busy in my work too, sold quite a few DS Lites (not all pink either). Lots of big 360 titles released this week so obviously we've been selling them by the bucketload. £37.95 for chart 360 games is pretty good! It's the people asking about the PS3 and still nodding after we tell them the price that get me down
flameboy Posted October 29, 2006 Author Posted October 29, 2006 It's the people asking about the PS3 and still nodding after we tell them the price that get me down yeah true, i also make a point of bringing it up on the screen to try and make a point. also the controllers are down at £49.99 at the mo, so show them that to try and put them off.
AshMat Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 As long as i, and all the people around ehre that i'd wanna paly with online, get one, then i'm happy
ShadowV7 Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Good to hear more positive feedback.Wonder if all the pre-orders will get filled? Ah well as long as me and people here get one i'll be fine
raven_blade2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 It seems like Wii is gradually building up momentum as we near launch. More advertising in the media and actual demo kiosks will crank the hype into overdrive.
flameboy Posted October 29, 2006 Author Posted October 29, 2006 Whos doing chart 360 games from 37.99? HMV, theres only actually one at 37.95-pro evo 6, but most are around 39.95 till atleast xmas i think
