Game corner. Fifth floor. Traffic is light, consumers looking at this, looking at that. The Nintendo Wii aisle isn't exactly a madhouse, but drawing a varied type. Just like Nintendo hoped.

Across the way, the PS3 display is hopping. To be expected—There are demos. Top Spin. MotorStorm. Other stuff. The Wii is still you-can-look-but-not-touch. The PS3 is out in the wild for the assembled male crowd.

Heading back towards the elevators, I pass a sign that points out as playable as the PS3, it's still not purchasable. The console's sold out. As is the DS Lite. And soon the Wii. Brian Ashcraft
