How can you get pro in golf? It's so hard.

Keep doing the whole 9-hole course.

I average -2 in 9-hole. My best is -4.

I never play Boxing. I have a ranking of 500 before I stopped. =[ It's just too much work and too boring to play. It's not even worth playing multiplayer because that's boring as well.

Every other sport is fine.

If we are still bashing other consols, then let's go.

Nintendo’s Wii continues to sell at a torrid place, outselling the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 during January. Market research firm NPD Group reports that consumers bought 436,000 Wii, while Xbox 360 sold 294,000 units, followed by PlayStation 3 with 244,000.



Nintendo is crediting much of its success to the broad appeal of Wii compared to machines from Microsoft and Sony. “I do think that we're selling to additional and different customers,” said Perrin Kaplan, VP marketing for Nintendo. “We've had an incredibly healthy start and we think there's going to be a pretty long tail on this product.”



Each console experienced a drop in sales when compared with figures from December 2006. The Wii saw the least decline when compared to its previous month at 604,200, while Xbox 360 saw the biggest decline from its 1.1 million units sold. PlayStation 3 also fell from its 490,700 sold during December.



The PlayStation 2 continues to be a strong seller, likely because of its price point, with 299,000 units—but down from the amazing 1.4 million during the holiday month. The Nintendo DS also loosened its grip, selling 239,000 during January—a steep drop from the 1.6 million during the gift-giving season. PSP also fell to 211,000 from 953,200.

I find it interesting that the PS2 is outselling the PS3. It's a mystery. Nah, it isn't.

I find boxing to be pretty fun. Not the best of all the sports but still good. My least favorite is Tennis.

:/ I picked dogs but predicted cats. The Internet totally led me to believe that everyone was a lover of cats over dogs. I guess I was wrong.

I picked cats but predicted dogs. I thought it was a fairly obvious choice. :P

Woo Wii is greeeeeen.


Did anyone get my Vash Mii?

Re: The Wii is Here.

Mmm. I'm worried.

I don't know if it's just warioware (since that's the only game that's been in the console this entire month) or the console itself, but it's taking forever to start the game up these days.

Like I click "Play Game" from the Wii Menu and it fades to black and loads the disc. Then it'll be 30 seconds to 3 minutes later before the game actually loads.

Hoping it's not a faulty unit. Hoping it's something that I can fix myself, easily.

Re: The Wii is Here.

Mine does that from time to time. I haven't paid enough attention to know if it's a consistent problem. I'll keep it in mind now. If it persists, I'll call up Nintendo and see what can be done.

Re: The Wii is Here.

So anyway I was looking through the list of upcoming Wii releases. Here're some I stumbled across that seem like future purchases to me.

03/20 Cooking Mama: Cook Off
03/27 Kororinpa Marble Mania
04/09 Super Paper Mario
06/01 Mario Party 8, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Project H.A.M.M.E.R.
07/30 Guilty Gear XX Accent Core

Can I get a "Wait, what?" on that last one?

And guess what this list is missing? Galaxy and Brawl. Among others.

Man I'm gonna start losing money fast.

Yay! <3

I never realized dogs were that much more popular XD maybe I just know more cat people... and of course the Internet's (or maybe just 4chan's >_> ) obsession with cats everywhere.

T_T I miss my dog.


Anyway, I haven't noticed a problem like that with my Wii... but I haven't been playing it all that much lately, really. Have you filled up a lot of your blocks or something? I dunno. Hope it's not a big issue.

I already went "Wait, what?" for Guilty Gear on DS, and that one ended up sucking. Oh well, we'll see. XD

Re: The Wii is Here.

A Guilty Gear XX game on Wii? There goes another fifty bucks.

I need a job.
