Ken Fisher over at Opposable Thumbs gives his account from today on how today, just like nearly all of the past weekends, seemed just like launch days at all of the stores carrying Wii units. There’s really not much difference at all.
Despite a morning chill of 4 degrees Fahrenheit, there are early lines outside my local Circuit City and Best Buy. A pal in Southie says the Landmark BestBuy has campers. Wal-Mart in Danvers/Peabody was hit by a virtual drive-by of people hoping to scoop up the Wii. All told, the poor saps freezing in the cold numbered more than 70 across the four locations we scouted. One guy who actually scored a unit almost sold his to someone in line for nearly twice the price.
Head on over for the full account. It’s amazing that the hype for the Wii has lasted so long and spread to so many people. Hopefully it can last.
