Nintendo President: Everything Is Just Peachy, Thanks

[Andy Chalk]

I know that the man meant "get the console before it's sold out", but it did sound rather money grabbing. He said if people are interested, buy it. That's just putting pressure on those on the fence to purchase their product.

I think Reggie has said this every Christmas since the Wii came out. You're right, it does have a certain greasy, opportunistic tone to it, but it's the truth and I'm not sure how he could phrase it better. If you want a Wii, and you see a Wii, then you damn sure better buy that Wii immediately.

I find it really hard to hate Nintendo because they're essentially getting rich despite not catering to the whiny "safe and familiar" "hardcore" crowd.

I first bought a Wii, and just recently got a 360, and I'll tell you, they say the 360 has the most diverse game selection. Well I have found 2 games I like for it so far... The Wii and DS have every puzzle game I like, Super Smash Bros. (Melee and Brawl), and awesome backwards compatibility (GameCube games, Gameboy Advance games; selected vintage console games), where the 360 does not.
