Nintendo - Rising costs? - View Post

We forgot to include the price of electricity and our houses and furniture because we wouldn't get the full experience if we just sat in a field with our consoles.

SO lets see.

Wii - $250
3 remotes - $120
3 nunchucks - $60
4 classics - $80
4 GC controllers - $?? (est. $50) unless you go with Wavebirds which are rare so that would be $100+ at best.
4 zappers - $80
4 Wheels - $40
Wii Fit board - $erm 80-90?
TV - $1000
sound system - $1000
(I live in UK so some of you will have to help with odd prices I put for goods)
chair to sit in - $200
chairs for friends/family to sit in - $3000 (some games have 16 player pass around function so presumably we need 15 extra chairs)
fridge to put beers in for friends - $200
phone to phone for take out food - $50
House for friends/family to live in - $200,000
electricity bill for the life of the console - $??
car to get to the shops to buy new games - $10,000

probably some other stuff too, but I think I have proved now that the Wii is massively expensive.

Compare it to the 360 for insance:

360 - $280
headset to talk to children online - $20
Live membership - $60
1 game - $60

No need for other controllers or stuff because 360 is not for playing with real people. therefore the total is only $420 compared to Wiis $216,270+

LMFAOOOOOOO, lol man you made me cry.
