    Just How Long Does A Wii Last On A Store Shelf, Anyways?

    Can't be long. And according to Reggie, it's not long at all. Speaking with Wired, the NoA boss has said that despite North America receiving 40% of the global allocation of Wii consoles, the average console is sitting on a retail shelf for around an hour before it's swooped up, thrown into a basket with Wii Play, and carried out of the store. To Nintendo, that's a success story, but if you're still waiting for a Wii 17 months after launch, it's a pain in the ass. Will knowing Reggie is "passionately upset about the lack of product relative to demand" help ease your pain?

    Nintendo's Reggie On Stage in New York


    Right now everyone's favorite video game executive Reggie Fils-AIme is speaking at the Bank of America Capital Markets conference in New York. I'm live blogging his remarks right now, and here's what he's saying:

    11:20 AM: Who's hindering us in the marketplace? Not Sony, not Microsoft - not other publishers. Non-consumption is our problem: The people who aren't playing games today.
    11:25 AM: He's going to be covering three topics - state of industry from Nintendo perspective, the immediate prospects for the holiday season, and finally a longer-term look at video games and entertainment business changing
    11:30 AM: Only 1 in 5 people describe themselves as regular video game players. Twice as many have no interest in playing at all. 40% say I'm interested and I've played games in the past, but there are other things that keep me from really getting into them.

    More Reggie goodness after the jump... More »

    Reggie Interviewed By San Jose Mercury News

    Troy Wolverton and Mike Antonucci, reporters for the San Jose Mercury News, got a chance to speak with Nintendo frontman Reggie Fils-Aime in an interview published earlier today. In it, he addresses various issues surrounding the Wii and DS including the lack of Wii availability, comparative sales to other consoles and even the broken strap issue. The interview is certainly interesting from a marketing and numbers standpoint, but what really intrigued me was a little sidebar item called "Five things to know about Reggie Fils-Aime" where we actually get a glimpse into a bit of the personal life of the man who's name has become synonymous with Nintendo.
