That's only a part of the parking lot too. In the video the line looks massive-er.

Can someone explain why they put people in a parking garage? In the video it says basement level 4 wtf? why would there be wii down there.




I like this video. Massive line with a surprise at the end.

Japan's Nintendo's Wii game console sells out on first day

OSAKA, Japan (XFN-ASIA) - Nintendo Co Ltd rolled out its new video game console, the Wii, Saturday, prompting thousands of enthusiasts to line up for hours in front of electronics stores across the country before they opened, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported.

The newspaper, without identifying any sources, said in a report in its online edition over the weekend that nearly 400,000 machines had been sold the first day, with many places running out of stock by around noon here Saturday.

Yodobashi Camera Co distributed 1,500 tickets to people waiting at its Akihabara outlet in Tokyo the night before, indicating that the store had sold all its consoles even before it opened Saturday morning.

Similarly, online bookseller Amazon Japan KK took orders for the Wii on Nov 17, before the machine was released, and its entire allocation was quickly snapped up.

Nintendo shipped nearly 400,000 consoles, about four times as many as Sony Computer Entertainment Inc did for its first shipment of PlayStation 3 machines, but it failed to meet the strong demand, the Nikkei said.
