Thanks, MG!

It's nice to see the wii making some good numbers early on.

I've always been a big nintendo loyalist. I'm thinking of getting the xbox though (after I get the wii of course).

I guess I'm Switzerland on this stuff.
Mostly lack of funds for new tech, but also have a hard time justifying the expense for a few hours a month of playing time.

You're welcome, one thing, the X-box numbers are staggering since it came out a year ago. The percentage you see for the 360 is based on sales when the Wii and PS3 came out that weekend, not the overall pie chart so to speak.

As of now, the Wii is catching up very fast to the 360. In one year's time, the 360 sold about 9 million units while the Wii has hit that number in 8-9 months. I still have a hard time getting one at retail price.

I was able to pick my Wii up at a ToysrUs in the beginning of April. I guess it is was the luck of the draw. They said they just got a shipment and there was only two left. Wii Power!!:)

Looks like you enjoyed your Wii. I plan on getting one.......whenever I can get my hands on.
