Ik hoop dat je er nog wat aan kan doen, best erg als kanker weer terug komt ....

Live blogging a conference call with Reggie Fils-Aime. Please excuse the typos. Keep refreshing for new info.

Nintendo didn’t expect Wii sales to takeoff so fast

6 million Wiis sold in the US alone

No other home system has ever matched sales this quickly

No ability to stockpile systems

This is an unfortunate happening

Nintendo is doing everything possible to stop this drought

Worldwide production has been upped twice since launch

14 million to 16.5 million to 17.5 million

current production run - 1.8 million Wiis a month

production depends on components from various suppliers

work force has been tripled at North Bend, Washington

This drought benefits no one

raincheck program at GameStop for consumers to get a Wii after Christmas. GameStop press release coming later today. “tens of thousands” of rainchecks to be available that guarantee a system in January

Full payment needed, starts Dec. 21st, receive system in January sometime

Systems will be available this weekend, Best BUy KMART SEARS TARGET TRU Circuit City

WalMart is releasing systems all week long

Avg Wii player is 29 years old

US sell through for DS - 6 million units in US

Nintendo wanted a more expanded audience when they first started Wii development. The DS helped start those ideas.

Retirement communities are encouraging Nintendo to get Wiis in their facilities

No date for Wii production line to either slow down or speed up

US receives 50% of Wii production a month. Nintendo puts the most hardware where it will sell out the fastest.

No plans to manufacture Wii in North America.

Nintendo sold over 6 million pieces of Wii software through November. Not disappointed with 1.2 million for Galaxy. Attach rate for Wii matches the PS2 when it was at this time in its lifespan.

Reggie met with key third party publishers last week. Wii supplies were talked. Nintendo is on a sales pace with Wii that has never been achieved in this industry. Activision having tremendous success.

Reason the GameStop raincheck system is exclusive is due to presell campaigns. They have the ability to track specific purchases and where consumers go to specific stores. Certificates must be matched to certain consumers to certain stores. Only GameStop can do this.

Reggie on third party software quality - Publishers are working hard to take advantage of the Wii. A range of quality titles is always expected. Publishers that do a great job get great sales. Third parties are building a better understand of the platform, and better games will come.

Nintendo has no quality assurance since quality is subjective. Nintendo is working hand-in-hand with publishers to help them create the best games possible. The level of quality overall will continue to improve. Reggie reminds us of the quality of DS titles when that system hit. It takes time for pubs to understand the platform.

Proof of expanded audience - ESA findings included PC gamers. When talking avg age of console gamers, it was closer to 21 and 22. Now comparing a 29 avg player age on consoles to the 21 and 22 it used to be shows Nintendo that they are expanding the audience.

There are no reported shortages of DS. The 24th of December, inventory should be pretty tight…but consumers should be able to find one.

Reggie talks about online play on VC games - Nintendo mostly wants to leave original games alone. No anticipation of adding online play to VC games.

Reggie talks about online voice chat for Wii - changes constantly happening, online voicechat is possible. It comes down to finalizing a peripheral. The fact that the mic is on the DS shows that Nintendo is interested. It is certainly something Nintendo is looking into, and Reggie wouldn’t be surprised to see it hit the system.

Nintendo doesn’t have a program that fixes prices on the upside. This would be an illegal practice. Nintendo is disappointed to see retailers price their products above MSRP. Nintendo would like to provide these retailers with less product. 90% of sales are done with top 10 retailers in each market.

Software tie-ratio - 3.4 attach rate overall. A greater range of software titles and strong licenses, the consumer is buying more software. Attach rate expected to increase.

Attach rate on accessories - strong sales of Wiimotes, Nunchuks. Zapper has performed extremely well, and additional resources are being put out to get more units on store shelves. Virtual sellout on Zapper. Expect more after the holidays.

Pleased with results of Wii Fit in Japan

Issue with Wii is demand, not problem with manufacturing components

Reggie decides how much product goes to US, Canada and Latin America. Each territory has slightly different seasonality.

That’s the end!

Insomniac Games said a while back that it was "flattered" that the spherical worlds of Mario Galaxy were inspired by Ratchet and Clank.

Official Nintendo Magazine UK asked the father of Mario what he thought about Insomiac's comments in a recent interview, to be published in the next issue (Issue 25).

Miyamoto said he was "surprised" by Insomniac's comment. "In terms of the spherical worlds and anti-gravity," he went on to explain, "we had the original idea as soon as we finished the development of Mario 64 and had been experimenting with it for many years, even on the N64."

"It's not an idea we got from anywhere else," adds Miyamoto, before adding: "I'm sorry but I have to admit that I've never seen the game in question. Is it a PC game?"

Wii trekt kakkerlakken aan?

AMSTERDAM - Het gaat momenteel alleen nog om een theorie, maar de Wii zou kakkerlakken aan trekken. Een Wii die aanstaat produceert een geluid op een bepaalde frequentie die kakkerlakken aantrekkelijk zouden vinden. Er zijn nog geen berichten van gamers die zijn aangevallen door de insecten.

Voice chat/Virtual Console
- Reggie talked about how Nintendo is still considering voicechat, and how he wouldn’t be surprised to see it on Wii in the future.
- Both expect it to happen (when Nintendo say stuff like this, it basically means it is happening) but are dumbfounded by how long it is taking.
- Both really hope it comes out in time for Smash, but are doubtful.
- For the majority of VC games, we’re not going to see modifications or upgrades (like we did with Pokemon Snap), simply because Nintendo doesn’t need to do it.
- Don’t expect a VC price drop in the future - they’re doing great and there’s no need to change anything.
- Hope to see more import games (like Sin and Punishment) and expect this because it appears that Nintendo is paying attention to the wider gaming community.

NPD
- Both Wii and DS did exceptionally well.
- Numbers don’t include some retailers such as Walmart, so the numbers are even larger.
- Analysts are predicting around 1.6-1.7 million for Wii in December.
- Make sure you camp out if you want to get a Wii - don’t go on ebay or anything because you will be ripped off.
- If the quantity had been there, Wii sales would have definitely been over 1 million. Nintendo would be kicking themselves right now because of their inability to get more units out.
- Very solid performance by 360 (not too far away from Wii) and PSP, as well as Playstation 2. Playstation 3 numbers are still comparatively low, but much improved from last month.
- Galaxy released a week later than COD4, so both games are basically selling at the same pace - if Galaxy came out earlier, then it would probably have reached around the same numbers as COD4.
- Guitar Hero 3 Wii should be a 1 million seller by the end of the year, which should do very good things for future Wii 3rd party support and also proves that 3rd party games can sell very well if they are high quality and appeal to the Wii audience. EA should be kicking themselves for not releasing Rock Band on Wii.
- Bozon thinks it’s taken way too long for the mono issue in Guitar Hero 3 Wii to be fixed. Action needs to be taken.

Wii Software LTD’s ( us only)

Super Mario Galaxy = 1.2 million

Smackdown vs Raw 2008 = 53,000 - not very good first-month numbers, and comparatively lower to PS2 and 360.

- Bozon thinks that the great sales of Resident Evil on Wii should lead to an original Resident Evil game on Wii, likely in the vein of Resident Evil 4.

- It seems that casual and minigame titles on Wii are selling best, with a few exceptions.

NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams
- A bit disappointing. Some publications (eg: Nintendo Power, who gave it a 9) are giving it high scores, but Matt and Bozon think that it doesn’t get close to the original.
- It’s still a solid game but it has a lot of flaws that bring it down.
- Bozon was a fan of the previous game but is let down with this installment.
- The flying feels very mechanical, and feels very analogue - it’s not very fluid (you can actually see the degrees of movement) - stuff like Galaxy feels much better. Also surprisingly features camera issues.
- However, it has a bunch of cool features, such as using the weather channel.
- Easily works best with analogue control, but therefore doesn’t provide an experience unique from other consoles.
- Review should come out early next-week.

2008 Support
- Wild Earth announced - looks pretty dull, appears to be in the vein of Afrika.
- Baroque announced on Wii and PS2 - action, hack-and-slash game, somewhat of a Wiimake.
- Sonic Riders - went hands-on with it and think it is pretty average.
- Wii Love Golf - turning out really good. Good fun and has a lot of Capcom nostalgia.

- They have several planned exclusives next week - revealing one or two games that are nothing mind-blowings but should at least be interesting.

Game of the Year
- Most likely contenders are Call of Duty 4, Bioshock, Mass Effect (which is the least likely due to it’s technical issues) and Super Mario Galaxy.
- Uncharted is a chance but features too much repetitive gunplay.
- Assassin’s Creed is really fun but also very repetitive with its missions.
- Matt thinks Metroid Prime 3 won’t be a consideration but deserves much more attention.
- Peer thinks Phantom Hourglass also deserves more attention as it is an excellent Zelda title.
- Halo 3 doesn’t really have a chance at all.

Reader Questions
- Both expect a delay of Mario Kart Wii. ( US dusThink it will probably release around the summer period.

- Talk about how releasing games around the same time can canabilise sales (eg: No More Heroes and Smash Bros. Brawl releasing around the same time) - for example, the game Stranglehold (which had tons of money put into it) was released around Halo 3 and has so far has sold less than 200,000 on 360 and even less on PS3 (115,000).

- So far 3rd party support for Wii hasn’t been amazing. They know of a few cool games coming to Wii, so expect some good announcements next year, but there hasn’t been enough AAA 3rd party games announced for Wii.

- Guitar Hero 3 Wii shows the right 3rd party games on Wii can sell very well. Matt believes 3rd party Wii games, if they are supreme quality, well advertised and appeal to the right demographic, can sell over a 1 million in a month.

- Both still think Street Fighter 4 on Wii is a very slim chance.

- Matt thinks Resistance is the most overrated title on PS3 - doesn’t understand why people got so excited over it. Bozon (who played Halo 2 a ridiculous amount) thinks Halo 3 is also overrated - Matt was bored out of his mind.

- No hints as to when the next Zelda game is coming out on Wii. Have heard nothing about it. They expect to hear the first news about it probably in 2009. Be prepared for a very long development cycle for this game, as it’s the first ‘true’ Wii Zelda game.

- Don’t expect the Friend Code system to cease anytime soon.

- Matt can’t say anything more about the mystery games. Peer has read the design documents - he is a big fan of the franchise and hasn’t seen a big installment in that franchise for a long while, and thinks it uses the Wii well.

- The other game - Peer was never a big fan of the franchise due to the characters, but Matt thinks some gamers will wet themselves upon learning of this game.

- Both games are going to be very cool, and everyone should be very excited about them. They are not vaporware.

- Both believe the headset will come before any hard-drive, and that the hard-drive is a pipedream at this stage.

- Matt will be playing Bioshock, Mass Effect and Call of Duty 4 during the break. Peer just finished Call of Duty 4 and Assassin’s Creed, and will playing Halo 3, God of War 2, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles and Mass Effect. Bozon will be playing co-op Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles with his brother, as well as Bioshock, Call of Duty 4, and play handheld games like Dementium.

Ik heb sinds vanavond ook een Wii, met sports (uiteraard), Zelda en Redsteel. Heb net sports uitgeprobeerd (god, wat wordt je daar snel moe van ) en ik ben nu met Zelda aan het rondkijken.
