There are still lines for the Wii

Article on Yahoo about how hard it is to get a Wii.

"You see it and you want it. Kind of like the iPhone," said Robert Marcus, waiting to buy a Wii with his wife and three young sons.

That quote makes you wonder if an iPhone will be the same way.

Wii still Rare in the Wild

It is still not possible to find Wii on the shelves of a store in my general area. This must be a great embarrassment to the likes of Sony and Microsoft when I walk by stacks of PS3's and XBox 360's in the same stores. I had previously thought that shortly after Christmas 2006 I could walk into a store and buy a Wii without waiting in line. Here it is 6 months past Christmas and they are still rare in the wild. The guys at the local GameStop said they heard Nintendo won't be able to meet demand until sometime in 2008.

On another note, this Model of Rome is pretty cool. Although at times it has the feel of a Sid Meier's Civilization game.
