I have been looking for a Nintendo Wii for long time and spent so much time that I was not even able to blog anything. My son had his birthday before Christmas and wanted a wii. Therefore, my wife and I searched the entire web, queued up in front of Target stores, EB games, Game stop but with no success.  Even now we call the game shops to see if we can get one. This was the only birthday where my son did not get any gift.

I even wrote to Nintendo telling them about my woes and they responded that they know that the system was in short supply and that they are trying their best to improve the availability.

This lead me to couple of observations. Why do the manufactureres create such hype and are not able to meet the demand?

 We have drawbackwards talking about the retail strategy to hold back the supply for whatever reason even though it said it had 4 million units.

  Nintendo had every reason to pump the market with the product so that it could have literally eliminated Sony’s competition, but it held back and I am hoping it could be for the safety issues. See it in action  Wii damage , Wii Video, Wii Rage . Later Nintendo recalled the straps to be replaced with the stronger string.

As a result there is a class action lawsuit on Nintendo for the problems created by Wii. Given all this, my suspicion is that Nintendo might be working on improving the product. While this will be beneficial to the product in the long run, Nintendo has lost the biggest revenue potential during the holiday season.

Joel has reviewed the Sprint’s latest LG Fusic phone in his interesting post.

The thing I could not understand is if the phone has such useless UI did anybody in Sprint try out the phone before sending it off to the bloggers for review. If only they did that they could have corrected at least some of the issues.

Regarding the movies, they all do the ripoff. Joel missed about the games that came with the phone and I was wondering how that looks like. Anybody?
