| Metallicube said: I don't see why gamers wouldn't buy a Wii with all the money they throw around. I mean they go around spending on $60 on games.. $200 for a console with motion controls, free online, VC, and several quality Nintendo games seems like a no brainer to me. |
It is 229€ here.
229€ and you need to buy some games with the system. Those games cost the same as the games on HD-consoles. Motion controls and free online offer nothing without the games that support them.(*) Virtual console? Do I get something free on it? No. You have to spend a lot of money for ancient games.
And I bet it is unbelievable for you, but everyone does not care about nintendo games.
On topic:
I got my wii because I had some extra cash and found a used one for quite cheap.
(*) For many people. wii sports and wsr might be enough games. I am pretty certain that those 2 games aren't enough for the people who own 360 and ps3.
