Nintendo - Rising costs? - View Post

Ok so by the logic used in the OP I can say this:

When choosing between two meals:

BBQ Catering Package Offers:
40lbs of Ribs
20 Plates
30 Cups
10 2L Bottles of Assorted Pop
Cost: $250

Personal Meal at Fancy Restaurant Offers:
18oz Steak
Giant Baked Potatoe
Vegetable Choice
Salad
A bottle of Wine
Cost $400


But wait look how much more expensive the BBQ package becomes when you realize you need chips, dip, tables, music, a grill, sauce, salad, coleslaw, corn on the cob, cornbread muffins, roasted chicken, etc...etc... so that all of your friends can come too. And when you add all of that in the BBQ is actually $450.

And yet somehow we are supposed to look at this and say "Yeah I totally see how the Fancy dinner is a much better value at the same price.".

Bottom line is that when you pay for all those extras with the Wii you are actually GETTING more. If you weren't getting anything for that extra expense then you would have a point, but you do, and so you don't.
