lining up for a console wouldn't count as impulse would it? :P

If you think Wii is an impulse buy, I'll say the PS3 is an impulse buy.

I'm waiting for the console since it was called Revolution.

How is it bad that it's an impulse buy? It will sell more systems to people who normally weren't going to buy it.

Waited in line at Toys R Us for a few hours.  I couldn't wait to get my hands on one.  I am kind of inbetween games on my 360 so I figured it would be great to play Zelda and Paper Mario for the next few months.  The Wii is way too much fun.  Graphics suck compared to my 360, but it isn't always about graphics......

...how can thousands of people waiting in line for hours, sometimes in bad weather, at BesBuys and Wallmarts every weekend across the country be considered a IMPULSE?

The Wii's availability in Australia is quite high (I've never seen them sell out). I walked in EB, wanted one, and bought it. :P So yeah, impulse buy here, but I do that with most things.

If Wii was delayed even one day, my head would have exploded. I'd been waiting quite a while for it.

Same.

Yeah, how can people call it an impulse buy? That doesn't even make sense. So you just go to the store like normal, and then you see the Wii and you just randomly feel a sudden urge to spend 250$ on it? Riiiiight..... I agree with King over here...

Nintendo is basically using the buisness strat this gen that they have been using with the Gameboy for a very long time and its working. 

Impulse buy?

Maybe.

Kinda.

 

I was considering buying one, but didn't think I'd find one. I wasn't really sure if I wanted to spend the money on one, but then I saw one in the store and thought "Whet the heck, might as well". So yea.... kinda.

No. I won't allow myself to make an impulse purchase costing more than the price of one new video game. So there's no way I would get $250 console on a whim.
