DS continues to sell at a ridiculous pace. Wii does another 100k+.

Golden Week did not have a good impact on the PS3...PS2 actually outsold it this time. Don't see how Sony can put positive spin on this.

Anybody know if they have actually started producing more Wiis yet? Or have they just been holding some back for Japan (then again, looks like they are becoming easier to obtain in the UK now too).

A friend got one last week and my mother-in-law got one a few days ago - looks like they are getting easier to find.

I fucking hate fucking friends codes

Oi! Nintendo...NO FUCKING NEED!

I dont quite get why Friendcodes get the blame, its just a unique user ID, just like an ICQ number or a phonenumber.

The big problem with Nintendo's online system is the mad idea of not using the systems ID for the games :-/
It makes no sense at all.

Entering lots of friend codes on the console is a pain in the arse. Why can't we have a web portal type thing like XBL which means I can type them in on a keyboard?

Cheers

Well, there are very few games I have any interest in playing online, so it doesn't really bother me.

Better than names where you have people complaining they couldn't get the name they wanted because someone horded all the recognisable ones.

Absolutely.

I really hope Nintendo are working on a "WiiSports2".
Basicaly, make all the games online compatible, take away the stupid 4-player limit for bowling, and add one or two more games. (Id suggest an improved version of the billards on wiiplay)

Playing tennis online, preferably on a big tv or projector, would be uttarly fantastic.

Great news
