Nintendo is probably pretty bored in their booth, someone go stand in line!

I would not stand in a long that long.

But it is good to see Nintendo reigning supreme in a new era of glory. Just like the ol' 64 days. It feels good to be on top again.

that line must have thousands of people in it.... better get up early and jump in line.

you have to deticate an entire day for just that booth.

That's just crazy. Too bad Nintendo didn't have MORE Wiis instead of waiting space.

I wouldn't even wait in that line @.@

The average walking speed of a human is 5 kmh, or 3 mph (so says Wikipedia). The line ends at 2 minutes, 10 seconds in the video. With some quick math, we come to conclusion that the line is about 180 meters, or 600 feet. Not bad, not bad at all..

Nintendo seems to be doing something right, that line alone is proof.

Anybody vote on the GameFAQs poll of the day? The past 3 polls were all about E3 and the next-gen consoles, and the Wii was always on top. Today the question was "which systems games impressed you the most", and the Wii had more than twice the votes PS3 had. Good start, imo..

they want that tho, companies will put less out then needed on purpose because it makes lines, gets peoples attention when theres lines and builds hype up. same as releasing less systems then needed to create shortages, which also builds hype.
