nexgenwars.com/After 3 day in the US and a Week in Japan Sony sold half of there systems. Nintendo has been in the US for a Day and has almost hit half a million. Not bad. Also, If you know a better source, or find out this one is a stinker let me know.

On a related note, I'm currently listening to Leo Laporte's KFI Tech Guy netcast (episode 301), and he talked about the PS3 and Wii launches a bit. He got one caller who waited in line 36 hours for a PS3, and he ultimately wasn't impressed. He even decided to sell it, even tho he was apparently one of the few people in line who actually bought it to play it. Here's a summary from Leo's show notes: Listen to the netcast for the details. It's all during the first 30 minutes.

And that's why I preorder as soon as the release date is announced ;D
All of the stores have stopped taking pre-orders. But man, I'm gonna be there on day 1 to grab my Wii. I might even show it off to some ladies. They can't help but be impressed by my shiny, white, motion-sensitive Wii.
Haha. Never gets old. Ever.

Translation:I want a Wii very much, but my dearest mother has informed me that if I want one I will have to spend the money I had saved up to purchase Christmas gifts. She has never made such a suggestion before, though, so I believe she may be planning something. Although, she did purchase me a Gamecube three Christmasses after its release date had passed. But God only knows. Good night and God bless. That was fun. I might start doing that for all of you from now on

Also, If you know a better source, or find out this one is a stinker let me know. That site is always revising its figures. It initially reported closer to 800,000 Wiis sold, and then cut it back to 400,000 some odd. I like vgcharts.orgThey don't update regularly, but they have pretty extensive sales research there, going back through the NES years, with some extensive week by week and month by month numbers too... When they finally put numbers up, I think you can trust them.
