Nintendo has efficiently opened a new revenue source for themselves. Granted peripherals (especially controllers) have always been sold separately. But not like whats happening now. Case:

WiiMote - you get one with the wii. including a nunchuck. but then for four player games, you need 3 more wiimotes. and 3 more nunchucks. which are sold separately.

VC games - for VC games, you need the VC controller. And maybe more than one for multiplayer games.

WiiBoard - to play WiiFit, you gotta buy a WiiBoard. simple as that

SSBB - Best played with the GC controller. You dont have any left? feel free to buy a new one. or four for that matter, as you wanna brawl against friends.

TOTAL: One wii needs for full enjoyment: 3 extra WiiMotes, 3 extra Nunchucks, 4 ClassicContollers, 1 WiiBoard and now 4 GC controlles.

All in all 15 peripherals for the price of about 1 PS3.

Enjoy your games.

let's see...to get "full enjoyment" of a ps3 you're going to need.

1 ps3

4 extra controllers (dual shock 3 is of course necessary for full enjoyment)

1 blu ray remote controller

1 set of component or HDMI cables since for some reason it doesn't come with one

1 playstation eye

1 headset

 

i guess i just really don't get your point?

 

edit: completely forgot.....

1 psp for remote play

1 memory stick (for those with ps3's that actually have a memory stick slot)

1 lightgun

1 keyboard and mouse

1 arcade pad

geez this list is getting long. xD

 

Don't forget a USB PS2 memory card adaptor. Also a DS for Wii since you can download DS demos from the wii.

Also a full set of Eye of Judgement cards. They don't all come with the game and PS Eye you know. (You don't even wanna know what that's going to cost you. If you want Phantoms... look out. (Hint: Probably more then what you paid for the PS3 in the first place.)

 360 seems pretty reasonable though.  I mean what do they have?  Were they the ones with the crazy armor core periphriel or whatever it was that was just like commanding a Mecha?
