Rapporter fra hele nettet viser i disse timer af Wii solgte igennem på førstedagen i USA. Selvom der var langt flere Wii konsoller end der var Playstation 3 konsoller da den havde præmiere i fredag, blev der hurtigt udsolgt i de fleste butikker. Her er par udpluk af hvad de skriver om launchen rundt omkring på nettet:

Nintendo Wii goes on sale — sells out
"NEW YORK — Nintendo Co.'s entry into the game console wars, the Wii, went on sale Sunday and quickly sold out in many stores despite stocks that far surpassed those of the rival PlayStation 3, which went on sale two days earlier.

There were a few overnight campers, but most had lined up in the early morning. Spot checks at New York stores turned up only one, the Toys R Us in Times Square, with Wiis in stock. The store hosted a midnight launch event that drew a crowd of more than a thousand people for the sale of the very first Wii."

PS3 launch urinated on as thousands take a Wii
"It’s hardly unexpected, but Nintendo has remained typically true to its word concerning the availability of the Wii console—unlike certain other hardware manufacturers we could mention. And that deliverance of retail units was met by thousands upon thousands of thankful (and notably varied) consumers in the early hours of Sunday morning as the Nintendo Wii officially launched across the US."

"The pre-launch Wii festivities ran for four hours (leading up to midnight), and saw deep snaking crowds wrapped around all four sides of the Times Square city block—with the Toys "R" Us flagship store sitting at the heart of the shuffling expectation—calmly waiting for the Wii to go live. Meanwhile, live on-stage entertainment from DJ Ravidrums and acrobatic performance artists AntiGravity kept the atmosphere pumping and the crowd attentive as MTV VJ Susie Castillo covered the event and interviewed eager gamers and intrigued non-gamers alike."

The News Observer
Nintendo's Wii quickly sells out
"There were enough people in line to snap up almost all the units of the Nintendo Wii that we had in stock, so it was an instant sellout," Circuit City spokesman Jim Babb said."

"The first buyer, Isaiah Triforce Johnson, had been waiting outside the store for more than a week. He wore a Nintendo Power Glove, a wearable controller that came out in 1989, while shaking hands with the president of Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aime."

Oookay, havde så ikke regnet med udsolgt første dag.
Godt man forudbestilte for mange måneder siden, jeg er blevet garanteret en konsol af indehaveren selv
