It's the old "supply and demand" marketing trick.

Hype everyone up to want one and then even those who have actually little interest in the item, will either want one or will get one just to make a buck on ebay.

And look at all the free marketing that Sony have got, as a result of limiting the numbers......you couldn't buy that !!

As for the Wii becoming as "in vogue" - I doubt it. Instead of launching with only a few, aren't they launching with loads available....

So, methinks the Wii will launch with a whimper rather than a bang.

Who cares?

I'll be playing my Wii and laughing at all the PS3 owners with Blu-ray problems...

LoL. . Can't compare to my ole Commodre 64 ! Talk about some cool games (At least I think they were anyways ) :? Especially when you could hook up your Atari 2600 Joystick with it. It was almost fun ! :lol:
