The Wii launch has gone smooth in comparison to the recent PS3 launch. During the Wii launch, there were no police, no people being trampled, and no one running into a pole in a rush to get their console. Guys from Nintendo are clever enough to allow everyone into their launch festivities, and provide demo stands that set up on the sidewalk, to stop fan’s boredom.
At the Toys “R” Us in Times Square, the first Wii buyer Isaiah “Triforce” Johnson (pictured), was apparently wearing the old Nintendo Power Glove when he was greeted by Reggie Fils-Aime, who presented him with his signed console, as well as playing some Wii sports with some of the people in the crowd.
Overall, the launch appeared to be a big success for Nintendo, with plenty of units on hand for those who waited throughout the launch event. For those who did not have one of the necessary wristbands to buy a console, Nintendo promised that there would still be plenty of additional consoles available today.

Forget about the morons who destroyed their Playstation 3,, we now have Capcom’s new footage of their upcoming Devil May Cry 4 game for the PlayStation 3. The game is slated for release in 2007 although no exact date have been confirmed. Watch the video after the jump!
In Devil May Cry 4, players control the formidable Nero who comes to grips with his newly found power as his beliefs and allegiance are tested. Continuing the legacy of fast paced action synonymous with the series, Devil May Cry 4 pushes the envelope of excellence even further with the inclusion of a new combat system that incorporates Nero’s “Devil Bringer.” This new feature has players delivering overwhelming damage to enemies with non-stop combos, while gaining new power for Nero’s right arm. With the PlayStation 3 system’s advanced graphical capabilities, high definition visuals and intricate detail come to life as players explore new and exotic locales. Amazing visual effects and dynamic action coupled with a complex storyline, provides the very cool, slick and stylish attitude that only a Devil May Cry game can deliver.

Some psycho rich dudes at SmashMyPS3 destroyed their PS 3 just after receiving US$675 in donations. Watch the video of the destruction after the jump. Here’s their excuse, what do you think??
This project only exists for the sole purpose of providing satisfaction to people who hate the Play Station 3, or just like seeing the reaction of the people who just spend a day in line to get their hands on one of these consoles. Entertainment, nothing more!

According to the Taiwan branch of Sony Computer Entertainment Hong Kong (SCEH), there will be only 500 PlayStation 3 (PS3) game consoles available for sale in Taiwan during the product’s launch on November 17. While the Europeans didn’t get anything this year, they’ll have to wait until March, 2007. In addition, 350 PS3 will be available throughout Taiwan in 35 stores, and 150 units at Taipei downtown for a launch party. Well, at least the long lines won’t get any longer than 350 people.
