Goodness! What on earth could this article be about?

Well, it’s about the Wii and PS3 launches! Because I wasn’t about to stand outside in the pouring rain with food poisoning (the PS3 launch) or get up early on a Sunday morning (the Wii launch) and only get the GamesIndustry.biz articles out if it, no sir.

It’s funny to think now, actually, how easy it is to get a PS3 and how badly the launch basically backfired for everyone (that includes Sony, not just the re-sellers.) I’m rather glad I didn’t get caught up in the madness; $2000 profit sounded too good to be true. I suppose a fair number of folks still made out like gangbusters, though.

The issue is available as a PDF at the Game Reactor website, and you know, this might actually be the last piece of work I had to archive! I should celebrate somehow. I do suppose the website will get a lot quieter now, too. Oh well.
