You know, I'm skimming because most of this is turgid and redundant, but...

Tuganomo.

Are you complaining because Nintendo sells the Wii at a profit?

Really? Really? 


Seriously I'm going to stop replying to people who can't spell my name properly. And no, I obviously have no problems with that, as long the price isn't ridiculously high for something that isn't that expensive to be built. Or if they offered a great service and great games that would make me want it badly. Ignore the second sentence, that's more of a opinion, not a fact like they used to sell the Wii for a ridiculous price.


Dude, every game company has sold games at high prices. Except, Sony is worse than Nintendo. $600 for a PS3. Ha, no thank you.

Yes, and the PS3 cost 800$ to be built back then. So there is no comparision possible.

And yh I agree with you, games are pretty expensive this generation, at all platforms. Nintendo games never have price cuts, PS3 has blu-ray discs, and the 360's games are slightly cheaper than the PS3. But still, 70€/60€ is too much for an 8 hours long game.

Ha ha supply and demand my friend. I actually forgot you were the one out of three people who cares how much it costs to build the console. The reality is, 99% of people in this world don't care how much it costs to build something. If you can supply it at a reasonable price, people will be willing and able to buy it at the price, thus leads to Wii's success (somewhat). The price of the Wii obviously has not all to do with its success but its some of the reason.

And did you know 99% of the world likes to make up facts? Of course how much it costs to build the console matters. Hell, even you know should take that as a consern when you buy a product. Let's say you're buying a.... mp4. And let's say that there is a product much better than the iPod. Even tho this product isn't very well known, it's sold for the same price, but it's a new product, made on 2010, while the iPod was made on 2008. And the iPod is obviously the most popular product. Which mp4 would you choose? (Remember this is a hypothetical situation)

Anyway, I've explained on another post what I think about that: if a company doesn't even try to offer a good service to the customer, I won't bother to support 'em and I hope no one else will so they make fair prices. To me, the price of a console should be a balance between the supply/demand and the price to be built.
