@tomsomething: Don't worry about him, he's going to be pissed tomorrow when his mom interrupts his WoW session in the basement to run to the store and pick up rolls or ice

@Seven06Renault: I actually believe it. I'm sure there have been some at the very large and bigger airports but some of the smaller ones, where the lines are negligible to begin with, I'm sure nobody has opted out. It's not like this "National Opt Out Day" was some massive, well organized, planned for the last 6…

@scottlandk: They knew people were going to try and opt out today. I'm sure there was a memo to proceed that way if you went through the initial screening clean

Well hell no! This was a stupid day to attempt something like that. The lines were already going to be long, nobody, let me rephrase that, VERY few people wants to prolong the process any further the day before a major holiday

@Almightywhacko: Arcade games? I used to play the crap out of some Castle Crashers on the 360 and I still do pick it up and play it when I have time

Want

@Kardster: Yeah I didn't watch the video. The video still was quite enough

Fuck. That.

@Scott: My point was that the Wii's demographic likely doesn't care about (or is too young to play) Halo or Gran Turismo. Casual gamers aren't who are standing around Game Stop at midnight to buy the latest Halo and the little kids are in bed. Those people aren't about to run out and buy a whole new console AND the…

@Scott: Right but my point was that the Wii's true demographic likely could care less about Halo or Gran Turismo. It's casual gamers and/or younger kids. Neither of which are the type who would play Halo or Gran Turismo and if you're a casual gamer and/or have young kids you're likely not going to run out and buy a…

Why stand in line when the invite states Apple Online Store? I'm sure you can get the sales if you're at the mall or whatever already, but for those of us who refuse to leave their house for anything short of a fire that day, I'd say that the Apple Online Store is the way to go

This is utter stupidity. I mean seriously? Who cares if someone opts out?

@invalidname: Hey! There ain't nothing wrong with some Angry Birds! And, frankly, if they came out with Angry Birds for the Wii, I'd be all over it. I won't lie

@Tams80: That's what it boils down to. You wanted it, you paid for it, it's not Nintendo's problem you don't use it. They have your $$$ their job is done.

@SpottedHyena: Clearly you aren't a casual gamer though. The Wii definitely has a demographic. You're not it, for the most part, sure there are titles you'll play but not the majority of them. My 5 year old nephew would be addicted to his Wii if his mom would let him. I don't have a lot of time to sit down and play…

@KingHippo: The amazing part of the 2008 and 2009 statistics is that the economy fell to shit at the end of 2008 (during Q3) and stayed in the shitter through 2009 and they STILL did that well. I think that's where the perspective should lie as to what they did during that 2 year span

@Ryan: The blu-ray player was the ONLY reason I went with the PS3. I had a hard time justifying nearly $300 for a blu-ray player (at the time I bought my PS3) when for about $100 more I could also play games with it and at least feel like I'll get my money's worth out of it

@m0m0: Yes but how gangbusters was the PS2 at launch? I am definitely old enough to remember that launch and at my college*, I only knew 1 person who went out and got it within the 1st month and maybe 3 who had it within the 1st year. (I also remember that the DVD playback "feature" was absolute shit when they first…

@bloggerX: They're doing the 3DS. My guess is that they're (maybe not for 2011) looking to upscale that 3D stuff to the Wii or the next generation of Wii (or whatever they'll call it)

@Scott: Halo Reach is Xbox only, Gran Turismo is PS only. I can actually get CoD Black Ops for my Xbox, PS and Wii if I were so inclined. Your argument doesn't hold a lot of weight with your example games. The bottom line is that hardcore gamers may or may not own a Wii and may or may not use it if they do. But the…
