three things:

– first; the american console that was mistaken for a gun looked like a gun
- second; the black console would probably appeal to the style-concious consumer who wants their wii to blend in with their tv, sound system, etc.
- third; the advert does just that – it makes the wii look stylish. give into your darkside is simply a play on words. Shouldn’t be read into

The information on this is completely false. America does not have the black wii at all, they only have the black controllers.

i might be old, but how is the colour relevant? and how will it move consoles?

it’s the same old kit they rolled out 4 years ago isn’t it?

‘not convinced the timing is great given yesterday’s news: “A three-year-old US toddler has died after shooting herself with a loaded gun that she mistook for a Wii controller, media reports say.”

I love the idea of the black wii but definitely agree with 4.18 – doesn’t make any sense to promote it with the Wii Sports and say ‘give in to your darkside’, the creative is kind of pointless…it’s a good looking console though and should move mega units regardless

So, just a thought, but given the creepy audio and the creepy black goo, wouldn’t Nintendo have been better to position the launch with something other than the friendly Wii sports?

So let me get this straight: a wholesome brand that won’t align itself it anything adult (ie alcohol) and goes out of it’s way to be cutesy is now …wait for it.. trying to appear edgy. Am I reading this right?

So they watched the spiderman 3 trailer. I actually thought from the start that it was a promo for Spiderman 3 the game.. cause its exactly the same creative.

And who gives a shit about the change in colour for a console.. hasnt that been proved to be pointless since the multicoloured 64’s?
