Nintendo lose out on the domain name
Nintendo were slow off the mark when registering the domain name Wii.com. The Wii.com domain was bought in August 1994 by Willamette Industries of Portland, Oregon. Bang the web address into your browser and you'll head straight to the website of the Weyerhaeuser Company, an international forest products company.Apparently Nintendo have not even approached the company with an offer to buy it back. Nintendo have recently bought the domain name, www.wiichannel.com so it seems likely that this will be the main portal to everything Wii related.
Meanwhile, the Weyerhaeuser Company can look forward to a healthy boost of traffic over the coming months.
