Wii sales slow. Is this it?

So the famous Nintendo console looks to of had a bit of a struggle this year and according to Iwata its on he decrease.  Does this mean that the Wii is slowing or is it just the current climate working it's evil?  I think you need to assess the market after christmas and see how many console have sold and what figures the competitors are looking at and find out how much of the market the Wii dominated.

Will the Wii take the christmas number 1 spot?

I hope it does but i'm not 100% convinced that the new Black Limited Edition Wii will be enough for Nintendo.

Larger Screen for the DSi

Is this true or just a rumor?

We don't know is the answer.  Apparently Nintendo are planning on releasing an update to the DSi's hardware.  Currently the screen holds 2 x 3.25-inch screens but by the end of the year, in Japan at least, we might see a larger screen size larger then 4 inches.  Maybe this is to try and boost sales as the handheld DSi is selling at around one third of the rate compared to when it was at it's peak.  Nintendo will keep the pricing the same and will consider selling it overseas too.  Lets hope the UK is one place that gets the larger screens.

A bigger screen size will help increase products that are produced for the DSi.  Game producer will have a larger text and graphic space to work with and this might also mean it will support playing video and perhaps reading electronic books.

I guess we will have to wait and see what happens....

I'm really looking forward to the Mario release and with the multi player option I cant wait.  I predict alot of buying this Christmas and it wouldn't surprise me if the Wii is the number one seller with the Wit Fit Plus arriving.

First ever Nintendo TV Advert

Check this out.   Its the first ever US advert that Nintendo made for the very first console they released.  The NES. (Nintendo Entertainment System.)  Although it's original name was the Famicom, which stands for Family Computer when it was first made in Japan.

I still have an original console and very very occassionaly I will bring it out for a good laugh on Mario.  It brings back many memories as i'm sure it does for most people.
