EB games stores with Microsoft zune pre-order news and Xbox 360 connectivity but I was asking about the Nintendo wii
October 9, 2006
Today while going to the mall for lunch, I decided to drop by eb games to see if they had any news on the Nintendo wii pro-order status. The first sales rep said no and then began to say but I can pre-order the Microsoft zune, the new ipod killer. I was like what? No thanks; I stated and that I don’t believe people with ipods will switch to the zune just because of a bigger screen and wireless features. Then the other sale rep. who was all excited about the zune said that people are going to buy the zune because you can transfer songs real easy wirelessly, you can play your music from your Xbox on the zune and transfer videos from the Xbox to the zune. I said, that’s the only feature that the zune may have on the ipod and because of the Xbox success but I said I would wait until after MacWorld 07 before I would make any decision to clam the zune was an ipod killer. Oh yeah the rep also said that with EB games 60,000 stores compared to some low number of apple stores he sounded as if he had is marketing numbers memorized that the zune will reach more people and cause them to switch. I’m like almost everybody has an ipod dude; it’s not about the stores it’s about the product, the zune sucks.
After seeing that going nowhere, I was like I need some apple juice, so I left with still no Nintendo wii pre-order information and went to the apple store. I didn’t get anything, just went to browse and saying to myself, a zune never!
By the way I’m in Raleigh, NC and if you know where I can pre-order a Nintendo wii let me know.
