this game only adds to his legacy - the man is from the future. without him the great games we know today wouldn't exist. Play Value did a video bio of him, it's worth a watch to see just how much he has impacted the industry. http://www.onnetworks.com/videos/play-value/shigeru-miyamoto

This product has been out now for a year or more. The secondary markets such as craigslist are alive and well and there are many deals to be had. There are also many wiis sitting on store shelves in the Oregon area. Due to this fact the ebay wii unit price has dropped quite a bit.

Judging from only what I've seen on the commericals for it, I think Wii Music will be one hell of a hit - here's why:

You don't have to run out and buy a guitar-controller, a drum-controller, etc etc - you only need what you already have, hardware-wise.

@Kieran - I frickin' wish it were that easy... portland.craigslist.org (as of right now) mostly has odds and ends that folks are selling for the Wii - same with the xbox 360... both have about the same # of whole consoles for sale, with the xbox having a few more. I've been eyeballing a Wii for Christmas; the folks on craigslist want too much for their used ones, so I hope you're right about new ones being on the shelves.

'course, there is this curious posting: http://portland.craigslist.org/yam/ele/894934093.html ;)

He's also done more than you could ever wish to accomplish in 20 lifetimes. I doubt he's crying into his pillow at night because you don't want to do him.
