Wii Puts Japanese Television Under Pressure
Knuckles writes "The Times reports that Japanese consumers have been 'abandoning television' in order to play with Nintendo's Wii. Recent figures from Japan's audience-tracking firms show that 'last week was the first in nearly two decades where no single show on any commercial station attracted more than a 9 per cent audience share ... According to one senior executive of the country's largest commercial television channel, Fuji TV, families who used to tune in to its colourful diet of soap operas, panel games and comedy variety shows may, instead, be drifting away and choosing to spend the same, economically-critical golden hour time playing on their Wii.'"
You think Hard Gay is "repressed"?
At first, I tought that japanese television were under pressure with all those flying wiimotes. Imagine all the stress the TVs must have when someone starts to play the wii, they never know if they're gonna make it or not.
I didn't found something funny to put here.

* examines ridiculous amount of bandwidth being consumed by Azureus for Haruhi-related purposes *
... I probably come out around even.
Real Daleks don't climb stairs - they level the building.
Think about it. Wii NEEDS TV. Quite impossible to play one without a TV. Not to mention, their primary advertising is to young people on TV.
If sharing a song makes you a pirate, what do I have to share to be a ninja?
