All right Nintendo, time to lay the cards out on the table. It's a couple of weeks before my birthday, and I'm liking the looks of the Wii. Problem is, it appears to be well nigh impossible to lay your hands on one these days without camping out in front of retailers or buying a mega-bundle for mega bucks.
So here's the deal. I'm going to get a console for my birthday. If you can get more units out there and somehow convince the retailers to not wrap them up in $600 bundles, I'll go with you. If not, I'll go for my second choice and get a PS2 bundle* for around the same amount of money I'd otherwise be giving you. Sure, it doesn't have the Wiimote, but on the other hand it plays DVDs.
Ball's in your court, Nintendo. The Wii might be my first choice but it's not my only choice. Somebody's going to get that green, and I'd rather it was you than Sony or Microsoft. So let's say we just make this happen, ok? :)
* Why not Xbox360 or PS3? I'm at most a casual gamer (something to kill time when TV sucks), and they're both a serious outlay of cash for the non-hardcore group, where serious outlay is defined as my SO reaching for the nearest blunt instrument when she finds out.
