Ok, so i watched a few more of the larger E3 pressers and have had my brain filled with gaming based goodness - and badness - coming in the next 12-18 months. Here’s how i reacted to the rest of the conferencess i watched in the format of the Fail Scale.
I’ve also added elements from the Microsoft Conference, even re-evaluating some with a little bit more of a mature outlook.
Wizard’s i say! And i don’t mean the incompetent kind spelled with two Z’s. </pratchett>
We all know it’s been near on impossible to get a hold of the magical little white box of joy with the humorous piss-esque name for a long time now, everytime some appear (apparantly they are not a thing of legend and exist) they are snapped up within minutes, for example Amazon sold out of 1,400 Wii units in 10 minutes.
They are most definitely this years must-have-present and no one seems to be able to get hold of them although everyone is convinced Nintendo have loads and are riding the hype by drip feeding the world.

As for Nintendo’s other little machine of joy, also known as the Nintendo DS it would seem they too have dried up substantially in recent weeks, the pink ones went a week ago and today the other three colours went on their merry way. Who knows if this is Nintendo holding back on us for the final week rush or, more realistically they just can’t make the damn things fast enough…
…they must be fucking loving it.
I can just see, Nintendo’s board of directors sat around a large table - the Nintendo Magic Hat, sat happily in the middle - all belly laughing as they throw bucket loads of money around them in a Crystal Maze fashion.
