Was my info accurate, though?

I am just using info you posted around NWR (as well personal experience), so I may be off in some cases.

I am 100% sure that the first Wii you got was paid by selling all your GC and GBA stuff, and that your brother bought the second Wii you got. Everything else I am still not sure of.

As for your Wii hunting, SB, the date is a REALLY bad one to do so. I REALLY hope that Walmart isn't pulling a joke by saying they are getting Wiis at 6:00 AM. I would recommend killing people if it turned out to be a joke...

Just don't go posting my passwords from all the LARP sites I patronize and it'll be fine.

Also, this day, my grand total of Wiis purchased officially rises to ten. Wal-mart had 7 in this morning and I took 3 friends.

Yes, all four more than likely have homes already.

That must be a personal record! Seriously, you must like the Wii so much that you were willing to buy it for multiple people as both favors and presents.

I'm sure that if the Wii has been yet another typical console, you wouldn't go through this trouble.

I hate to admit this, but I enjoy the thrill of the hunt (I also bought 6 Gamecubes over the course of its life...).

And besides, this nightclub owner already hosts Madden and FIFA tourneys on the 360.

If I can have a local bar which has regular Wii Sports tourneys, all the better for me, right?

My mother was very happy to get a Wii.

Still need to contact the bar owner again and let him know I have it for him but he won't be in until tomorrow.

Word.

I would enter a Wii Sports tournament in a heart beat. Don't care if I win or not, I would do it for the hell of it.

I might try Wario Ware there (if Pap ever gives it back) but I'm more certain that Excite Truck would go over well (if Pap ever gives that one back too).

But I can't wait to see people in the bar take notice the first time we play it there. I'm going to offer to print up fliers for the guy and go around stapling them to telephone poles, announcing the tournaments every wed or so.

The fliers will say, "Can't find it in stores? Come play it here! Wii Love Wedensdays!"

Also, I've finally seen how nice the Wii looks in widescreen on my parents' TV. Now I just need to get a component cable for them...

So how many units has Nintendo sold so far?

This says roughly 6.5 million while....

This says almost 6 million.

Those numbers seem close, but they're really not, especially when it places the gap between Xbox360 anywhere from 3-5 million units.

This is why I normally don't follow sales info. Who's numbers are correct? Nintendo wanted to ship 6 million by the end of March. Did they meet that goal? Did they sell every unit shipped? In my area, there isn't a Wii in stores anywhere, but is it sold out worldwide?

First of all, don't take either of those number as fact, especially Nextgen wars.

Secondly, according to Nintendo they exceeded that 6 million mark as of about 1 week ago.

NPD, Media Create & Famitsu are the only 3 sources of #'s that we take as official (MC more so than Famitsu). We don't have any solid hardware #'s for Europe, so I'm not sure what we're supposed to about that other than take VGCharts word for it.

Looks like the nightclub owner I mentioned has two partners, and all three of them will need convincing.

Wish me luck, guys. Time to see if Wii Sports can carry the console into the bar scene...

Set the Wii up, make some Miis, load Wii Sports. That should do it.

If the guys don't want it, I suggest you demand the money or else the place will suffer an "unfortunate" accident.

It went pretty well. Two of the three partners are convinced and they're going to talk to the third one tomorrow (but they're pretty sure they can convince him).

Now they expect us to help organize tournaments and such.

And is that a good thing or a bad thing?

I ask because organizing tournaments can be somewhat hard sometimes, and if they expect you guys to organize tournaments every week then its going to be hard.

I know you wanted to get Wii Sports tournaments going, but at what extend will you help them along?

I'll gladly organize tournaments. If nothing else, it'll give me something to do with my free time.

As for persuading them, I actually showed one of them Godfather, but Wii Sports was definitely the convincing argument, as always.

Hopefully your not spending all of your Free Time doing this for Free.
Everybody should have a little side hustle, and peddling Wii's and setting up tournaments sounds like it could provide a little extra income in your pocket. So I hope you make it worth your while.
