Definitely reverse, but bound to happen somewhere. The standard "brought it home for Thanksgiving and everyone wants to buy one now" thing seems to be much more common. Personally, I'm having a blast with mine and so is everyone I talk to, but it's a big world with lots of people in it.Quote:

"EA forms Wii-centric studio
Monolithic publisher transforming PC Tiger Woods developer Headgate into internal shop focused on Nintendo's new console.
In a recent interview with Newsweek, Electronic Arts CEO Larry Probst talked about his company's increasing support for the Wii. Besides mentioning the Wii-specific Sims title, the executive also said that the publisher has "some things in the pipeline" that will be exclusive to the platform.
Today, EA threw more of its considerable weight behind Nintendo's new console. The company announced that it has bought Headgate Studios, the developer of the last six PC installments in the Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchise and Madden NFL 07. Now the shop, redubbed EA Salt Lake, will "focus on development for the Nintendo Wii."
As is often the case when it buys independent developers, EA did not disclose the financial terms of the Headgate acquisition. As its new name implies, EA Salt Lake will remain in its Bountiful, Utah, locale, coordinating its efforts with EA's California development teams and the Madden makers at EA Tiburon in Florida. Headgate founder and CEO Vance Cook will continue to oversee EA Salt Lake as executive producer, reporting to Nick Earl, the general manager of EA Redwood Shores and Sims studio Maxis.
No specific titles were mentioned in the EA Salt Lake announcement. Given its resume, though, the shop is presumably working on the Wii edition of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07, due out next March. The only EA Wii game currently on the market, Madden NFL 07 was developed by a Wii-dedicated division of EA Canada's Burnaby, British Columbia, studio. EA is also bringing Need for Speed Carbon, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, SSX, The Godfather, and the aforementioned Sims to the platform."
The store he owns is primarily a console LAN center, where everything is set up on big HDTVs and projectors. Right now, it's pretty much Gears of War all day, every day. There's really nothing else to do in this small, but really high-income town, so he pretty much gets all the [male] traffic from several high schools.Quote:

Most everyone likes Wii Sports in theory, but it's just too cheesey in the end when you have groups of people hollering and having a blast playing team FPS's or what have you a couple screens over.
Yahoo created a portal for Wii.
I'm not sure if they actually have them in stock or not, but Nintendo's website took down the notice that component cables wouldn't ship until the middle of December and states that they are resuming shipping on backorders. I don't know if that means that they actually have some in stock to sell, but we can always hope. I went ahead and put in an order.

I think there were reports from about 2 days ago stating that they've resumed cable shipments, but who knows for how long until they're out of stock again.
My tv accepts component input but it can't do 480p so I'm not in a rush for the cables. They'd be nice for the increased color depth though.
If you ordered them before the 20th, they're on the way. If not, you have to wait for the next shipment, whenever that is.
Mine have been rescheduled for some ungodly reason until the 6th. I refuse to play Zelda without them, it looks like shit and I'm tired of it.
Got my component cables yesterday.
