The Wall Street Journal has taken notice of the Wii's explosive popularity. Their article covers everything from the pluses and minuses of transporting by sea or air, and a few other completely random statements. However, their main point is what we already knew. The Wii is giving the PS3 a thrashing in sales. The WSJ reports...

In all, U.S. retailers estimate that 1.4 million to 1.5 million Wiis will be sold by Dec. 25, roughly twice as many as the PS3. According to NPD Group in Port Washington, N.Y., Nintendo sold 476,000 Wiis in the U.S. last month, versus 197,000 PS3s.

My favorite statement was made by Dave Karraker from Sony who said "If they do pick up a Wii, it's as more of a novelty." Novelty Dave? That "novelty" is kicking your ass right now. We're going to officially term Dave as being "Wiitarded".

Two truckloads of consoles hijacked as thieves stock up for Christmas. By Emma Boyes, GameSpot UK Posted Nov 24, 2006 1:47 pm PT

Two consignments of Xbox 360s has been stolen in the UK this week, reports regional newspaper, the Express and Star.

The first occurred after a lorry (truck) was flagged down travelling south on the A38 at Hillards Cross. The driver, who thought he was being waved down to inform him of a problem with his vehicle, pulled over. The men then threatened him and dragged him out of the cab, they then made off with the lorry and £750,000 (approx $1.5 million) worth of consoles. The driver suffered minor injuries, and the lorry was later found--empty--further down the A38.

The second theft occurred in the Hellmann Worldwide Logistics depot on the morning of November 23, when a trailer containing £250,000 ($483,000) worth of Microsoft's next-gen consoles was taken.

Staffordshire police spokesman Peter Stevens said, "We are appealing for information from anyone offered [the consoles] in suspicious circumstances, such as in a pub, at a car boot sale, or off the back of a lorry, to help us track down those responsible."
