    In the US it's just white I think - I'm sure I read something about Nintendo keeping it simple with just one choice of colour for better manufacturing/distribution.

    I bet it's the same over here, with a black one released some months later when production/distribution is flowing and to give some excuse for repeated purchase.

    I watched an interview the other day where a Nintendo representitive (can't remember her name) stated that all launch consoles would be white.

    Her reasons being that for launch they wanted to keep manufacturing as simple as possible and get as many consoles as possible out there. They do expect a high demand so it'll be only white consoles to begin with.

    She did emphasise the 'to begin with' so I'm sure we will see multiple colours at a later date.

    pale yellow?

    ahem..

    Yeah, as above, it looks like it's only going to be one colour for now (white), then they'll release the different colours to re-stimulate the market when it gets to the seasonal slack period next year..

    I like the look of the snazzy black one, I won't buy one unless I can get it in a colour I like. Sounds stuid really but oh well, I don't buy consoles at launch anyway.

    I got my N64 in transparent green and that was prety cool. I'll bet the same thing will happen with the wii after a year or so to revive intrest in the product between product cycles.

    This thread has actually made me think about not getting one at launch.
    I'd much rather a black one to go with... well everything else I have on my desk.

    Threads which attempt to make a joke \ pun \ rude reference by using the name 'Wii' in the title on HEXUS so far, since the name was announced: 12,657.

    Forget the colour: Mario Galaxy! Zelda Twilight Princess! Other games! Going to be great.

    I still think it was, but I did get bored quite quickly. I started to miss the sort of games I've always prefered playing. I wanted less arcade style driving \ fighting etc and a return to coin collecting and dungeon exploring. I missed Nintendo in short.

    360 was (is) great, but the games didn't hold me after a few months.

    Metroid, yes. But - Mario! Zelda!

    I want a white one so it sits nicely next to the xbox 360.
