| RolStoppable said: The Wii was neither a budget console or a gimmick, so some superficial similarities you might see don't mean anything. Releasing first certainly won't hurt, I'll give you that. |
I just threw the word gimmick in there as Sony PR but I really do believe the Wii was a budget console (consumer friendly price, under 300 at launch). The only system that Nintendo has released that was overpriced would probably be the 3DS. I can't think of any other system that they released for hand held or home console that didn't have a decent consumer price point. I suppose you can throw the Virtual Boy in too expensive but that was more of a lack of failure of the system than the price. If Nintendo prices their system over 300 then I'll worry. If it is 300 or under then that is a perfect price point for a new home console system these days.
