It's actually a pretty smart idea. Pull the ads, save the money and use it when you actually have items to sell.

In my interpretation of awesome, this would definitely be amongst it.

Thanks to Nintendo a lot of kids are going to have a really crappy christmas

Just Uk or Europe? When I hear German kids not getting Wii for some reason i dont care

That is hilarious, don't hear that much.

Just UK, I hear Wii is flopping everywhere else.

Mario, hearsay is not the same as actual data. Last week, the DS and Wii had the most sales in most territories.

One-year trend for Europe:

Just like the issue of console manufacture I disagree with the general consensus. Nintendo needs more Wiis in the market to strike while the iron is hot. Failure to do so is hurting them. However, seeing as they can't get more to the stores they STILL need to keep the console fresh in people's minds.

Make the ads
Show the ads
Hype the Wii

Nintendo should just start advertising third-party games with all that time and money.

They should replace them with an old Super Nintendo advert just to confuse everyone. People will be camping outside pawn shops and selling them on eBay for massive profit. "Only slightly yellowed with age! L@@K buy now!"

Nintendo would have a crapload more money if they didn't spend any money advertising the Wii ever since launch day(s), and they'd still be number one.

They'd have a crap load more money if they actually advertised any of their games other than Wii Sports. Maybe. I dunno.
