In sharp contrast to the PS3 launch yesterday, the Wii launch is going very smoothly so far. Lines started forming today all over the country and reports are coming in of 20-80 people deep. Everyone seems to be in good spirits and no one's gotten mugged yet that I know of. The Wii seems to be pulling more people in a short amount of time as opposed to the PS3's short lines and protracted camp outs. About 80-90% of the line waiters interviewed said they would be keeping their Wii's or were buying them for presents rather than selling them on eBay for a profit.
Two launches for two systems two days apart and they couldn't be more different. Perhaps the Wii will usher in a new era of peace and understanding between gamers. Now get out of my way, jerk, I have to go pick up my Wii.
