Reading that article, it doesn't give the other Wii Canadian sales, but does mention that's basically the months of December and January. Doesn't seem to be flying off the shelves.

Canada Population - 34,482,779
World Population - 6,973,738,433

6,973,738,433 / 34,482,779 = 202.24 Canada's worth of consumers worldwide.

202.24 * 35,700 Wii Mini = 7,219,968

Assuming the remainder of the world has identical buying habits to Canada, Nintendo should definitely release the mini worldwide.

God damn, so people are eating up this piece of garbage? Makes the Genesis III look like a decent system. >_<

Btw, I consider the Gamecube library vastly superior to Wii. So I'm not a fan of this device.

Btw, btw, I keep wondering how small you could make an original Gamecube on a smaller chip process. Imagine a cube the size of a grapefruit?!

Oh, I like the Hockey Puck.

Plus if this is worth the same as a Genesis III down the road a lot of the posters here will be sorry for not having purchased it.

You mean a sort of Ouya?

They've changed it since.

Seems like RGB yes, components no.

No it does not support RGB, NoE must have realised that you can still watch/use Composite video with an RGB SCART cable and so updated the website (Either that or it was changed in error)

I discussed this point in the Canadian Wii Mini thread:-

Terrible idea, the Wii U is already struggling in the UK. Releasing a Wii Mini would create further confusion and probably eat into Wii U's sales...

Exactly, they need to focus on the Wii U. Releasing this to the UK is just going to cause trouble.

The genesis 3 is barely worth $40, you're probably thinking about the CDX.

The nes top loader is generally the more preferred option today because of the reliability, something this barebones wii may have as well 20 years down the line. Who knows though, it's not like the original wii was some over designed mess with a history of issues like the other two consoles.

It's garbage alright but it looks cool at least. Dat fiery red.

Iwata needs to get that $100 Million next FY someway, somehow to keep his job.

No, it would still play GCN mini-discs.

Not exactly a good strategy for the long term though.
