When comparing prices internationally you should first check if the prices are quotes with or without sales tax. Australien prices are quoted with 10 % GST. US prices are always quoted without sales taxes, so taxes will be added. The Wii is $249 plus tax in the US. The gap between US and Euro/Aussie prices is not that huge if you consider sales taxes.
Hardcore gaming is a bubble economy blown up by Microsoft's $7 $6 billion losses.
