Happy Christmas type thing

Just thought I'd be the first to post this on the blogs, and yes I know a lot of people who read my blog are American and it's not Christmas over there yet, so don't bother pointing that out :P.

Anywho happy christmas to everyone who celebrates it :P I shall be enjoying present opening, playing on the Wii with my family and a lovely christmas dinner.

I shall maybe post pics later, but I'm already behind, not having posted my Wii review up, and an entry on Game On. But I'll see what I can do.

Wii has been launched now ^_^

Ok I would have posted yesterday but well I was busy playing, I will be posting up a review of the Wii, but cannot now as I was up till about half 3, and have to be ready for work in an hour or so and be working 9-6 today O_o oh happy day. So I'm too shattered right now, I shall however make a start on it later in the day, but not sure when as there are still two games I haven't tried.

Anywho heres what I got, my review shall go into more detail than one picture ^_^.

Wiiii

Counting down the days...Only 1 day to go

Ok so only well the rest of today and tomorrow to go, can't wait, I shall be finishing my life drawing work tomorrow and having everything handed in so Friday can be full of Wii playing...bar the fact I've gotta do an essay but Wii!.

So yeah, not long left now, so I thought I'd share some pictures of the lovely console with you all...well except the American's and Japanese as they have them now. But that doesn't matter, so you can see as follows.

Ok yeah that's just the games in the cabinet but they've all been moved down there now.

I was gonna post how many we've gotten in of the Wii but I felt it was best if I didn't post pictures of inside our stock room or something along those lines, but we have gotten in 57, and I doubt there will be any for customers who haven't pre-ordered ^_^.

Counting down the days...2 left

Ok I wanted to have something cool to talk about...but well the closest thing I've got is sales figures for the Wii in Japan, which I have to say I felt disappointed in. Now with how well Zelda sold in the US I thought wow, in Japan they're gonna sell tons, well not exactly it seems.

It seems the flagship title for the Wii is Wii Sports, but I suppose that will mainly be because the Japanese didn't get it bundled with the console. But you can see as follows the main things sold and by how many units.

Wii Sports - 176880
Wii Play - 171888
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - 145068
WarioWare: Smooth Moves - 63086
Super Swing Golf - 12673

Seriously amazed at how bad Wario ware sold, heck I'd buy a copy if it'd work on my Wii when I get it.

I suppose it's what happens when a game such as Wii Sports gets so hyped up. Scary to see though that Wing Island has only sold 800 copies, but then again I can't see all the titles we are getting in the UK selling thousands a piece.

I just feel kinda saddened that Zelda hasn't sold so well in Japan really.

Cute comparison...3 days to go

Ok I found this browsing a few websites, and thought it was quite cute and funny ^_^

Showing how people who buy the Wii are cute women, and the people that buy the ps3 are scary men...well in Japan. Now I'm not saying anything by this, I'm just sharing the cute little thing that darkdiamond.net have made.

wii vs ps3

I find the guy in the middle ps3 pic particulaly creepy looking ^_^

Also with only 3 days left till the Wii's release I thought I'd post up some stuff counting up to the days :3
