First, a self-pat on the back. I just reached 50,000 words about 5 minutes ago. Submitted my story in scrambled form to the official NaNoWriMo word counting page and passed! Bwahaha. At the last possible moment, I decided to do something crazy and sign up to write a novel in 30 days. Now, 27 days later, I have 50,000 words in my word processor and I'm... Not even halfway through with my storyline idea. I don't know if that's good or bad. Probably good. I have a huge world I've concocted over the last several months. Now that I'm finished, I can rest and actually play a game on my brand new TV.

Second, a pat on the back to my heroes at Nintendo. Forbes is reporting that Nintendo says they have SOLD 600,000 Wii units and they can't keep them stocked. Six hundred thousand units and they're still sold out. Let's compare this to the PlayStation 3, which was promised to be released at 400,000 units in North America, but afterwards, independent studies show that there was, in fact, only around 250,000 units sold.

To all you Sony fanboys who wanted to tout the PS3 as the fastest selling system: Eat it! Sony can't make any PS3s because of all the crap they're shoving on you, and here's Nintendo giving us everything we wanted in a gaming system. Nintendo's making them as fast as they can, and they still can't meet demand.

Sony, meet Nintendo... Your new competition you enjoyed laughing at.
