So, the big launch date is coming very soon. 4-5 days depending on if you count Wednesday?
Many of us are already ready to go. We know exactly what game/s we want to purchase with the system and accessories we think are needed to go with our purchase. Most importantly we have a preorder because the number of units available may be limited.
The question is though, where is the buzz? Where is the feeling of excitement for this system? Outside of the game sites and game magizines does anybody really know that a new system is launching? It just feels dead out there.
I feel I wasted time preordering, because I will most likely be able to go to Walmart at midnight and pick up a system without any problem. As it is now, I am going to have to wait till Sunday after church to pick up the system. Another couple hours waiting for it to charge and then FINALLY I can play it.
No place that I know is offering that midnight celebration for the launch. Nobody I know unless I have told them about it even knows about the system.
Nintendo has dropped the ball in hyping this system, and they may sellout of product and games, but I feel very little excitement about the whole thing (except my personal excitement.)
Hopefully this will change soon.
What do you guys think? Have you felt more hype or excitement than me, or do you feel this is like a sleeper system release?
