align="left"While Sony and Microsoft dream of turning a profit on their consoles, Nintendo is doing
just that. According to a new article from a
href="http://www.forbes.com/technology/2008/11/28/nintendo-wii-wii2-tech-personal-cz-cs-1201wii.html"Forbes/a,
the Big N makes $6 in operating profit from every Wii unit sold. Nearly 19 million units have been
sold worldwide so far during 2008, earning Nintendo a tidy $114M in profit, taking that
$6-per-system figure into account. That's not the extent of the interesting numbers in the article,
though.br /br /Forbes points out that, while Nintendo is turning a profit on hardware, the fact
that its top-selling software is all first party means it is losing out on emserious /emrevenue
normally brought in via licensing fees. Still, according to its figures, the magazine claims that
there will be in the neighborhood of 100 million more pieces of Wii software sold in 2008 (220M)
than the nearest competitor, Xbox 360, at 125M (PS3 is on track for 120M). One has to wonder,
though, how many of those Wii games will be snagged from a bargain bin, given a

Although we're not really sure what the purpose of this mashup is, we like it's ghetto style.
Someone crammed an N64 console into the body of a Nintendo Wii. For those of you who want to play
N64 games on your Wii, you can avoid the destruction and simply use the Virtual Console from the
Wii menu which works like a charm.

We rarely ask any favors of you, dear readers, so we're hoping you'll oblige the following humble
request. You see, in the midst of Black Friday's acquisitional frenzy, we may have gotten a
emtad/em carried away, making purchases beyond our fiscal means -- and emfar beyond/em our typical
practicality. What dark forces would drive us to purchase a set of nickel-plated egg beaters, a
lifetime supply of Poligrip denture paste, three Razor scooters and the complete Kenny Loggins
discography, you may ask? Our emdamnable, hard-wired frugality/em.br /br /Our savings accounts now
liquidated, we currently find ourselves in a residential crisis. Had we only possessed the
foresight to place importance on rent payments rather than kitchen utensils and a

this predicament. That's where you guys come in -- we either need to pawn off our regrettably
obtained goods to pay off our living expenses, or be put in contact with a landlord who will accept
the aforementioned odds and ends as apartmental compensation. Surely, someone out there knows of a
kind superintendent with unsecure dentures and a proclivity for emscooting/em.br /br /The spending
habits of Japan's console-purchasing populous mirrored our own over the past week, with most
systems seeing major sales increases. Six of the top ten best-selling titles belonged to Nintendo's
handheld -- combined with the limited availability of the DSi, this caused a major bounce-back for
the DS Lite. We've sent a congratulatory "a

style="padding-left: 30px;"Nov. 29, 2008, SAN JOSE, Calif. - Black Friday saw a buzz of shopping
activity, as consumers took to their computers to snap up hot holiday gifts. eBay Inc. (Nasdaq:
EBAY) companies, including PayPal and Shopping.com, all saw consumers going online for great deals.
The companies reported key online shopping trends, popular categories and hot gifts./p p
style="padding-left: 30px;"'Results from Black Friday show that shoppers continue to turn to the
Web for their holiday shopping needs, especially for consumer electronics,' said Jim 'Griff'
Griffith, eBay Marketplace Expert. 'Online shopping is convenient and allows consumers to find the
best values and vast selection. Shoppers can visit eBay and Shopping.com to purchase all of their
holiday items at unbeatable prices, and can pay quickly and securely with PayPal.'/p p
style="padding-left: 30px;"strongShoppers are Clicking for Deals/strongbr / With money tighter than
ever, shoppers are hitting the Web to find the best values for their hard-earned cash. A recent
Nielsen study found that 78 percent of adult online users made a purchase on the Web in the past
six months. Additionally, a recent survey conducted by Survey.com on behalf of eBay found that
getting 'great deals' was the most important criteria for shoppers when choosing where to shop
online this holiday season./p p style="padding-left: 30px;"Shoppers are taking advantage of the
great deals on eBay to find must-have gifts. Black Friday online shoppers took advantage of eBay's
great deals, including the Daily Deal, $1 Holiday Doorbusters, Bid from $1 and Microsoft Live
Search cashback. Consumers also turned to Shopping.com for their holiday shopping needs, searching
most often for Nintendo Wii Fit and Nintendo Wii./p pYes, this is a consumer-facing release,
designed to lure shoppers with promises of great deals. But we have to believe that, if there was
some good news to print about Black Friday sales, eBay would have printed it./p p(PayPal sales,
meanwhile, jumped an impressive 26% year-over-year, and eBay was quick to report that.)/p
