I don't think that really captures the difference between the systems on any level

What's so different between them then?
|
Go play Sunshine and then Galaxy. Do you even own a Wii?
But yeah, everyone knows that SEGA does what NINTENDON'T.

I played Sunshine and Galaxy when they both came out. Galaxy is actually one of my most favorite games. Also someone said I was calling the Wii two Gamecubes. I dont know why someone else said that to me because I never said that. I just said its overclocked twice as fast, which it is. That doesn't mean anythings wrong with it.
The point of the matter is Nintendo can easily lower the price and still make a profit.

People say this over and over but making a profit is only an end-point if, no disrespect intended, you are in the position that Sony's games division currently occupies, the position MS entertainment division occupied since the beginning of the Xbox's life or the position that dragged Sega under.
For Nintendo to profit means nothing special, they have always profited bar one financial quarter in the company's history. They have loftier ambitions and their goal is to profit as much as possible and that doesn't involved cutting the price of a system that just had the biggest week for a home console ever.

Some people were trying to say that Nintendo couldn't drop the price any lower and still make a profit. Nintendo is a business and of course they'll try to get every cent out of you as much as they possibly can.
I know what you've been saying for years. I'm just trying to remind people that too. The only reason the Wii dropped its price recently was because the PS3 and 360 were too close in price. Sony and Microsoft can't continue to lower the price like Nintendo can. And I did see that Nintendo had their biggest week ever, and they're smart for not dropping the price.

Fair point.
I guess my point is directed more at the people who suggest that the Wii's price should be dropped to suit their perception of it's value i.e. marginally above it's cost price, without any deference to market forces, different business models or goals.
