Nintendo Confirms Wii on GC Housing at E3

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the still-some-wiggle-room dept.

kukyfrope writes "Nintendo's PR Manager, Matt Atwood, has confirmed accusations that Wii demo stations at E3 were not running inside the Wii case and instead were running inside Gamecube housing using Wii-spec hardware. 'The Wii hardware we exhibited at E3 2006 was made specifically for the E3 show and is not the final mass-production version. Some of this hardware was cased in Nintendo GameCube housing.'" Update: 05/19 21:08 GMT by Z : Changed 'hardware' to 'housing' in title.

    Don't you think its odd that if sony was to do somthing like this, you would all be up in flames, but since its nintendo, you just go 'oh well' after whatching the sony bashing that has taken place these past few weeks, you get the idea someone is running a astro-turf campain.
