At CES, every vendor was selling the Wii!
http://arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.ars/2008/01/11/at-ces-every-vendor-is-selling-the-wii
While Nintendo didn't have a booth at CES, it was impossible to ignore the fact that everyone else was using the Wii system and the Nintendo brand to draw people into their booths. Showing off a huge projector? Hook up a Wii, put Wii Sports on the screen, and start handing out controllers. Same thing with televisions, chairs, speakers, home theater decorations... you name it. If the product was in some way able to have a Wii hooked up to it, that's the way vendors tried to hook observers.
We've seen this with a few other products: Rambus used Guitar Hero 3 to show off its components in the PS3 and to get people to visit its section during an off-site event, while another company threw a Rock Band party. But those two examples were atypical; when I walked the floor, what I saw was booth after booth of people playing Wii Sports. It was amazing that in a show where the highest possible visual quality was being shown, a system that maxes out at 480p was being used so extensively to pitch product.
Nintendo saved a good amount of money by not paying for a large booth at CES, and it didn't hurt the company one bit. Scores of companies lined up to give the system free press, and many showgoers had their first taste of Nintendo's system while trying out scores of new gadgets and displays. This had to have sent a powerful message to both Microsoft and Sony: while the PS3 shows off Blu-ray and gaming televisions arguably better than any other system, it's Nintendo that brings in the bodies.
Disseram que mesmo sem a Nintendo investindo no evento, ela estava presente com o Wii de todas as formas possíveis e imagináveis. Várias das empresas promoviam a diversão do console para atrair o público ao seu estande. O site ainda comenta que em uma feira de teconlogia de ponta, quem levou mesmo a atenção do público foi um console que roda no máximo o 480p. Ouuuuuuuuch!
