Wiimote moonlights as skewer

TV strucked by Wiimote

Didn't we just posted an article about Ninty e-mailing new Wii users about the proper use of the Wiimote? Anyhow, we encountered these pics at a website called Wii Damage and by their name alone, you know what kind of stuff they busy their selves with. According to their report, the Wiimote moonlit as a skewer during a game of bowling. We've told you already, when playing Wii Sports Bowling, released the B button, not the Wiimote.

Apparently, someone who was there when this happened mentioned that the Bowler put a different spin on his bowling game and well, it wedged to the TV. On the bright side of things, the Wiimote was still working. As for us, we're a bit on the fence as to whether this Wiimote incident was staged or if it really happened. Here are the pics, maybe you can help us decide.

I can't think of a isngle reason why you would ever need to move the remote fast enough to do that kind of damage. This is getting stupid.



Oh.....and I don't see a wrist strap on that thing either.

Look at the first pic! They got a picture when the wiimote is in the tv but the ball just got through the lane! God they must have very fast fingers to throw the remote, run get a camera, and get a clear picture all before the ball finished down the lane!

ain't it about time QJ stated to actually apply some common sense before posting all that rubbish? the kind of plastic used in the casing of the average CRT TV made in the past 5 years is utterly impenetrable by a remote. i once intentionally kicked my old CRT (was mad at it) not far from the spot where the wiimote is shown penetrating it in this picture - i was wearing my winter hiking shoes - the damn thing got as much as a surface scratch. to do the damage shown on the picture one needs a hammer/cutting tool.

If you look at it close, you can see a mark, where the handle of the hammer hit the right side - enlarge the pic and really look at it. There is a big gash, where someone swung the hammer sideways, it's on the right, nearly bisecting the hole.

» Completely off topic here!

Completly off topic here but this is intresting, this is the amount of consoles surposedly sold in 24 hours. It is 8:30pm here when i calculated this:



Xbox360: 8,066,083

Playstation 3: 384,670

Nintendo Wii: 1,206,713



After A Minute



Xbox360: 8,066,120

Playstation 3: 384,675

Nintendo Wii: 1,206,727



Each Company Sells The Following Amount Of Consoles In A Minute:



Xbox 360: 37

Playstation 3: 5

Nintendo Wii: 14



So by tommorow At 8:30pm this many consoles will have been sold:



Xbox360: 53280

Playstation 3: 7200

Nintendo Wii: 20160



This brings this total number of consoles sold at roughly 8:30pm tommorrow at:



Xbox 360: 8119400

Playstation 3: 391875

Nintendo Wii: 1226887



These Figures are based on the website http://nexgenwars.com/



These figures do not quite match the figures that have been released from many companies. If anything these results seems biased towards to xbox360 in my personal opinion. As I highly doubt with the release of both the Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii that Microsft will be selling 37 console a minute and 53280 consoles every 24 hours whereas Nintendo only sells 14 consoles a minute and 20160 every 24 hours.
