I went to E3 yesterday, the line for getting into the Wii area was almost 3 hours so I passed. The only way to even see one was to queue up and go inside the 'secret area'. I understand wanting to create a buzz but it seems like this did more damage than good. To not even have one demo for passers by meant they missed a large opportunity.
I went expecting to be wow'ed by the wii, and want to buy one; I left feeling like I couldn't care less about it. I'll spend the money 'saved' on some more games.
