Co-workers and Wii
So I took my Wii to work (that doesn’t sound totally innocent, does it?).
Instant hit. Everybody was clamoring to play it, and one person walked out intending to buy it. This has, without fail, happened every single time I have shown it to a group of people: someone has always left saying they would buy it. Each time, the people who were “converted” were people that originally had no intention of owning a Wii.
Oh, and my boss explicitly asked me to bring it back next Friday.
What other console generates that kind of enthusiasm? That’s marketing you can’t buy.
I never leave this site dissapointed mate.
