Wii Sports Experiment On NBC: Silly, Yet Arousing
If there is one thing the Wii has the upper hand on in the necessary carnage of the console wars, it is it's media-friendliness. I've seen more Wii related stories on the tube in the past few months than I have seen on any of the consoles I've owned throughout the years combined. I blame the lack of Wii parts and systems on this oversaturation. I mean, if Dr. Phil is giving away hundreds of the little white boxes to his middle aged audience and John Q. Gaymer can't find one at any of his nearest gaming outlets, something in the universe has gone dreadfully awry.
You can chalk it up to it's simple and sleek design, it's ease of use, but I think the real reason is that it is just, by nature, a more visually gratifying image. It just makes better TV. Seeing someone jump up and down and swing their arms looks an awful lot more interesting than sitting and staring, fingers tapping.
So it isn't that surprising that the Wii Sports Experiment has found it's moment in the sun as a recent news story on NBC. What is surprising is how cute the blogger/experimenteer, Mickey DeLorenzo, actually is. Let's just say that after he lifted up his shirt to test his body fat I was glad to have my laptop to carry in front of me. Girlfriend, Schmirlfriend!

YOU KNOW GAYMER!?
You know why you can't find a Wii? Because Nintendo hordes them to create the illusion of immense shortage and high demand
If they actually were flowing them to market, there would be plenty out there. If there was such a shortage, they wouldn't be giving them away to Dr. Phil's audience
Wow. Playing games and getting exercise. What a concept (he said with tongue firmly planted in cheek). I knew I should have patented tag and dodgeball when I was a kid. LOL.
WickyWoo:
Your proof of this is where? From what I've read it's the retailers that have been hoarding them, not Nintendo.
The Wii sells itself. Nintendo simply can't keep up with the demand. It doesn't make any sense, fiscally speaking, for them to hoard the console. Why sit on stock when it could be on the shelves selling and making you money.
Get it together sister!
Mmmm Wii-puns....
Yaknow the only downside is the massive case of tennis elbow c.c;
"Mickey played the Wii hard, 30 minutes a day for 6 straight weeks"
this might be the first wii pun that wasn't intended.
Lol So many Wii puns!
