Will the Wii Work?

Today BusinessWeek is running an article asking Will Nintendo's Wii Strategy Score? With the Tokyo Game Show this week, they run down the trials facing Nintendo's little-box-that-could both here in the States, and in Japan. From the article: "Few expect truly dedicated gamers to choose the Wii over the PS3 or Xbox. And ultimately, the advantage may go to Sony. Yuta Sakurai, an analyst at Nomura Securities in Tokyo, expects the PS3 to sell 71 million units by 2011, compared with 40 million units for the Wii. Microsoft, meanwhile, is planning a stripped-down version of the Xbox without a hard-disk drive and other accessories that will cost about $250 in Japan, where the U.S. software maker has endured disappointing results."

"Nice of Zaphod to sell us those weapons. And at below market price!"
"Yeah..."
"How does he make any money selling them below cost?"
"Oh, he sells a -lot- of them."
"Ah."

If Nintendo would use the commercial I found on Google Video, then they couldn't build them fast enough... ;)

Funniest. Apple ripoff. Ever.
