Wii is hot in Japan

The video make of the Nintendo Wii stocked retailers with about 400,000 units of the new console, which flew off the shelves as people rushed to buy after queuing overnight. Nintendo's entry into the market comes as technical glitches trouble Sony, which delayed the global launch of the PS3 by about six months until November, giving US software giant Microsoft a one-year head start with its Xbox 360.
Hundreds of video-game fans waited all night for the Japanese debut of Nintendo's next-generation Wii on Saturday, heartening the company's hopes of wresting market dominance from Sony's PlayStation.
