The domain Wii.com - GoFuckYourself.com

MyNameIsNobody · 12-04-2006, 12:27 AM

Nintendo owns the domain wii.com but I can't imagine they have for long.

That must've been a sweet deal for the owner.. Anyone got some facts?!

Despite there being no Wii.com website currently online, Nintendo insisted that it has no plans to buy the name.

"Wii.com is owned by Willamette Industries and to my understanding we are not planning on using that website," said a spokeswoman for Nintendo.

HAHAHAHHAHAHA

guess they changed their mind?

Nintendo has always used nintendo.com. Even gamecube.com redirects to Nintendo.com.

emthree · 12-04-2006, 01:28 AM

That's a lot of free traffic.

No idiot, because Wii are the initials of the company that originally registered and owned the domain before it was recently purchased by Nintendo.

born2blog · 12-04-2006, 03:38 AM

interesting topic. but with a budget like what Nintendo has I'm sure they can own any domain they want to because I don't know about other planets, but at least on planet earth MONEY TALKS.

MyNameIsNobody · 12-04-2006, 06:14 AM

still curious about the numbers..

Domain Distribution · 12-04-2006, 07:46 AM

yea $$$$ =

baddog · 12-04-2006, 08:06 AM

I was at a friends yesterday and we were looking for wii domains for a new project he is launching. It is amazing how many were already taken.

We found a good one though, and I will let you nerds know about it as soon as it is launched. Should be pretty fun.

polish_aristocrat · 12-04-2006, 08:09 AM

I had to read the full article to know what wii is referring to

MyNameIsNobody · 12-04-2006, 09:30 AM

bump for some answers.. anybody know? $$$

DaddyHalbucks · 12-04-2006, 10:00 AM

My guess is high five figures or low six figures.

Manowar · 12-04-2006, 10:04 AM

Yep, nice little earner for the company behind it

Same thing on other planets.

adultchica · 12-04-2006, 10:35 AM

The company that owns it should at least put a site with adsense on it.

PimpDaddyPants · 12-04-2006, 10:48 AM

Maybe nintendo purchased it on the downlow or they are just renting the space until the end of the year to boost sales.

either way if nintendo's logo is on that website the owner has been paid im sure a great deal of money since he is aware of the circumstances.

MyNameIsNobody · 12-04-2006, 11:08 AM

looks to me as Nintendo owns the domain.

http://whois.domaintools.com/wii.com

now, what did they pay for it?

csturbo · 12-04-2006, 11:47 AM

yes. i am the proud owner of that domain but they took me to court to get it for nothing. they even got me to pay the transfer fee :-(

At the end they brought me a dougnut to say no hard feelings.

squishypimp · 12-04-2006, 11:54 AM

would be interesting to see how much nintendo paid for it.
