rob wild Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 A bit annoyed really i pre-order a couple of these for today from a couple of different place and now all of them have let me down saying they have not got anywhere near the stock! I really dont understand why they can't do something simple like work out quantities etc! And to top it off they said it could be after march 2007 until the Nintendo Wii because really avalible! Would'nt mined that this same thing happend to me last year with the 360 Anyway rant over i might tell to stick Wii up thier P:) hole when they arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Strange that big reported stock shortages happened with the XBOX, the Wii AND with the previous console generations. It's almost as if their marketing departments are doing it deliberately to drive up pre-order publicity..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psymon Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I wouldn't worry to much, its Nintendo so its Crap lol :d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 So IF I have been taken in by the tv adverts and fancy a wii, I've got no chance if I wander into my local Game then. Considering launches are planned years in advance, you'd think they'd have enough supply to meet initial demand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah had a play on one in game today and it did look fun really! Like you said though and marketing aside these launches should catter for everyone who wants one or at least the people who pre-ordered!

Muffleman Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Gears Of War, 360 Rules Good job I have a 360 then eh Is Gears of War worth a purchase ? I tend to avoid FPS on consoles as I like a mouse and keyboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to avoid FPS on consoles as I like a mouse and keyboard IMHO yes , deffo. Stunning graphics, good story, pretty easy control system and online game play is awesome. It is also a third person shooter rather than first person. Best game this year for me..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Sh*t hey , but the good news is Nintendo are shipping 4 times as many Wiis as sony are the PS3 so there should be plenty in stock in a few days, the problem was no one expected the sales to be so high, the Wii is outselling the PS3 and 360 by a mile in every territory.
