The New York Times is reporting that the Nintendo Wii has "upset the order of the video game world" leading them to claim that the only console seaworthy of navigating the Blue Ocean is leading the PLAYSTATION 3 in buzz and sales. Even moms love it!
"You're up and you're moving, and it makes you feel more involved," said Tracy Ciardiello, 28, a stay-at-home mother [...] "After an hour, a thing pops on the screen that says, 'Why not take a rest?' That just made me laugh."
Sony Computer Entertainment America's David Karraker, on the other hand, isn't showing Wii quite the same love, claiming that it may be "considered an impulse buy more than anything else." SCEA couldn't be more right. I've been witness to no less than thirty people on three separate occasions just impulsively snapping up Wiis after waiting for hours outside my local Best Buy. My assumption was always that they were getting up early to hoard additional copies of Mobile Suit Gundam: Target In Sight and thought "Maybe I'll grab a Wii since I'm out of bed at 6 AM on a Sunday!"
