Where are the Wii?

Irony..... you are beautiful mistress.

I say that, because I am one of those who didn't buy a Nintendo Wii on Sunday or wait in line on Saturday.
In fact it was quite the opposite.

I was at a party with friends all 20 of us kept talking about how much we all wanted a Wii.... and none of us went out to buy one, instead we had lots of silly fun and Marathons of Guitar Hero.

So I come back on Monday, call up every store only to find out every store selling electronics has sold out.

Sigh, I admit I was irresponsible for missing out this opportunity, I'm reading all these mixed reviews of the Nintedno Wii and I'm so anxious to join in with everyone. I was under the impression that we would be tripping over all these Nintendo Wii, I could easily head out into a Toys R Us and buy a Nintendo DS at the height of it's launch. Now, I'm in the position I have to stalk stores and read up on their shipping to know if Nintendo Wii are available. I actually had a chance to buy a Sony Playstation 3, but refused it since I want a Nintendo Wii...... I seriously have problems, don't I?

hee hee, yeah, But I'm also eager since I didn't buy a Nintendo Gamecube. I have intentions to buy Windwaker, Metal Gear, Zelda 4 Swords, Alien Homine, ect. I originally wasn't impressed with the Gamecube, but now the Wii seems a lot better package for someone who skipped a generation and want to try out something else other then the latest and greatest. Same thing with the Sony PS2, I bought it to play PS1 games. I'm fond of backwards compatiblity since I'm more devoted to fighting games and simple games.

HELL! I think I logged in more hours on Tetris on the Gameboy then I did on any other video game in my entire life. Hee hee, I don't want to brag my "video game player status." But I think I'm not the average consumer, I see the Wii as a wonderful opportunity to see what I missed out.

A small little comment, What is with Gamespot's forums and ranting on Gamespot review scores? I mean if your following any of these, NONE of these kids are reading the review and understanding to context of the score. Instead they are complaining about the score and the score alone.

Behold, Criticism of the Criticism, this is the world we live in.
