The Wii Is Magical, But Not Enough to Make Carson Daly Funny

I know this really isn't saying anything at all, but this is the funniest thing that Carson Daly has ever done even though it still isn't funny. Even the Wii can't make him funny. At least it's still funnier than this.

I'm just comforted that I'm not the only person on earth who makes out with his copy of WarioWare.

The Wii is Victorious (for one month at least)

This is data is about a month late old now, but the Nintendo Wii was the best selling video game console of January. Here's the totals

1. Nintendo Wi- 436,000
2. Sony Playstation 2- 299,000
3. XBox360- 294,000
4. Sony Playstation 3- 244,000

Microsoft dominated the month of December though selling over 1.1 million XBox's (first and second generation) while the Wii sold 604,000 in a distant second.

What is most staggering to me about this figures is that the PS3, with all its hype and technological capabilities continues to finish in third place of the new consoles. Although the PS2 is still selling very strong, that probably won't keep up for too much longer. It's almost like Sony tried far too hard in developing the PS3 and made it too expensive and harder to get. Eventually the PS3 should catch up depending in large part on when they decide to lower the price. These selling figures only take two months into account. It's hard to determine the successfulness of a console like this in four months, but thus far the PS3 has dug itself a hole that it desperately needs to get out of.

The Wii...

Sunday, after returning home, I had a Nintendo Wii waiting for me at my house. Apparently we had gotten lucky and just happened to come across a Gamestop with one Wii in stock. It is now mine.

So far, I am thoroughly enjoying it. The controls are unlike anything else in the gaming world and that's obviously the major draw. Although there are some interactive games (guitar hero, DDR) I can't think of anything else that really lets you immerse yourself in this.

I'll go more in depth in games later, but it's amazing to play Marvel:Ultimate Alliance and move your controller to have Wolverine slash up an enemy or shoot web from your controller or play the new Zelda game and use the controllers as your shield and sword. Very fun, no matter how ridiculous you look playing it.

I absolutely suck at video games with a few exceptions (Madden and Tony Hawk) so it's even harder for me to make this transition.

More on this later as I uncover more secrets....
