Gaming fans line up for Nintendo Wii launchSTRATEGY: Nintendo plans to win a bigger share of the market by changing the way games are played instead of competing with Sony's detailed graphicsOnline, the prices are steeper: PlayStation 3s were selling for around US$2,500 on eBay on Saturday, while Wiis (listed by sellers who had pre-ordered from retailers and expected to get the units yesterday) were listed at around US$500. Sony had about 400,000 Play-Station 3s in North American stores on Friday. Nintendo has said it would have "five to 10" times as many Wiis available at launch, and will have shipped 4 million units by the end of the year. It still expects consoles to sell out in stores. The relative abundance of units, and a smaller fan base, were expected to make yesterday a calmer shopping day than on Friday. On Saturday evening, people were lining up at stores more to show their devotion to Nintendo and celebrate the occasion than because they were afraid of not getting a Wii. At the Nintendo World store in Rockefeller Center, 86 people were lined up for the morning opening. Anthony Eaton, dressed in green as the character Link from the Zelda series, looked chagrined when passing girls called him "Peter Pan."
