Rueters is reporting that NIntendo Wii out sold Sony’s PS3  3 to 1 in Japan.   Nintendo released the Wii Fit on December 1 and that has helped push Wii sales.  Over 774,000 Wii units were sold vs. 232,000 PS3 units.  Microsoft’s XBox fell way behind selling only 38,000 units.

  This is just another example of how well the Wii did this past holiday season.  Sales continue to be strong and its still very difficult to find a Nintendo Wii in stores here in the states.

Nintendo announced today that soon enough you’ll be able to download demos and full games onto your Wii console.  You’d then be able to transfer these games to your Nintendo DS.  For Nintendo this is a great way to build loyalty with its customers.

This site offers many of the possible solutions to Wii Error Codes.  There have been some questions lately that seem to be pretty common and hopefully this will help some new Wii owners.    As always there are times when you may find your own solutions please post those solutions so that other Wii users can also gain from your knowledge. 

Here are a couple of Wii problems and as I get more questions I’ll add them to this list and the website:

• If your Wii locks up when you eject a disk or requests that you re-insert old disk.
  • Try pressing the reset button.
• Controller does not seem to have power or loses power quickly
  • Make sure you have fresh batteries or have a battery charger.  Amazon sells a Wii Charge station for 29.99.
• Controller slips from my hand during play
  • Have the strap around your wrist.

When the Wii’s were in stock this past holiday season Amazon.com sold them at a rate of 17 Wii’s per second.    The Wii one of the best selling items this past holiday season,  this obviously was no surprise to anyone who tried to purchase one but WOW 17 Wii’s per second.. Thats amazing…
