Wii have no more problems?

Love the fact that people who bought the Nintendo Wii (price tag on Ebay $600) have to replace their expensive TVs.

The Independent

Relishing the chance to join in games by imitating the action of a tennis racquet, sword or golf club, some owners have lost control of their gizmos, leading to bruised heads, black eyes, and even damaged TV sets.

"I decided to play the game for bowling," one battered and bruised gamer, Nicole, wrote on Wiihaveaproblem.com. "I swung really hard to knock down the pins and all of a sudden I realised my head hurt... Instead of it flying wildly into the air, it stopped and swung back around and hit me in the head."

Nintendo offered to take back the 200,000 wrist straps in circulation and replace them with something more durable. It said the fault lay with players failing to follow on-screen guidance to securely strap the device to their wrists.

But it was revealed yesterday that the company is facing a US lawsuit over the alleged "defective nature" of the straps. Green Welling LLP, the San Francisco-based law firm which is bringing the class action, said: "Nintendo's failure to include a remote that is free from defects is in breach of Nintendo's own product warranty."

And it will still outsell the Playstation 3:

Nintendo has said it expects to ship 4 million Wiis worldwide by Dec. 31, double the number of PS3s promised by Sony. Late last month, Nintendo said it sold 600,000 Wiis in the first eight days after its Nov. 19 debut.

Microsoft, which gets most of its sales from North America, is targeting global Xbox 360 shipments of 10 million by year end.

Nintendo's Wii retails for $250; Sony's top-line PS3 retails $600; and Microsoft's Xbox 360 retails for $400.
