| elnino334 said: Though the Wii is priced at $249 it actually cost more than that as you start adding accessories and games. My cousin ended up spending close to $500 when he got his Wii and based on the average of accessories and games my friends bought for their Wii’s they average almost $400. Basically though it seems cheap the Wii at the end of the day will run most gamers a nice chunk of change. |
Why do people keep making this completely false claim?
The 'average' Wii buyer probably buys one extra controller at $60, which is the same as the average 360 or Ps3 buyer.
The 'average' Wii buyer may or may not get any additional games, as they probably got Wii Sports and Wii Play at this point. Whereas the average 360/ps3 buyer must spend $60 to get one game. Unless they got one of the available pack ins. Then its the same.
That's it. Nothing extra that you need for the Wii as compared to the others.
There are unique non-average things.
360 buyers would most definitely pay another $50 to get Live.
A minority of Wii buyers may pay a total of $40 for two classic controllers.
Ummm...
Beyond that I can't see how people keep trying to claim Wii is actually more expensive. Kwaad used to always try to make this claim, but yet every time you draw a direct comparision, it is by far more expensive to get anywhere near the comparable system out of 360/ps3.
As for the rest of your post, I didn't read it. I stopped here when I realized your logic is flawed already.
