Rancid you are right abot demand dropping but I was talking more about how Gamespot spun it in that the Wii's are no longer selling out and is in fact struggling, when from what I've gathered it still is selling like hot cakes.

So dropping demand for the Wii means what?  Instead of 50 people waiting in line before the store opens there's only 30?

eBay and Amazon.com prices are slowly but steadily dropping, so that's a sign that the fevered demand is dropping somewhat, but truly, until one can actually go into a store and buy one anytime they want there's no way to use sales to determine demand absolutely.

This a VERY true thing jasonditz. One wonders how long that will take to happen.

Yeah, I was at BB in Newington, NH in sub-freezing temperatures waiting in line and yes, all 50 or so Wiis sold there were sold before the store even opened.

Gamespot has no clue what they're talking about and statements like this are going to come back to bite them square in the ass when people start questioning it (as I'm sure many already are).

Why isn't there a site solely dedicated to making the big media outlets look bad and pointing out their general phailures?

INTERWEB PHAIL REPORT

It'll have ads and everything, so the webmaster can earn money just like the big boys do.

The first mistake is confusing almost any gaming website with journalism.  

They're gamers and PR mouth pieces before anything else.
