i think that the world economy is in a very bad shape for a UD$400 and up console without a price drop the wii will maintain is dominance, by the way i don't understand why people think that if someone does not buy a hd console is because that person is cheap, well there is something called budget constrained, that is what most people are, we are budget constrained. i want ps3 but i can only get one for $US1000.00 and that is absurd.

Everyone i know wants a hd console but that has become unrealistic so the wii has become a consolation price, and since little kids like it too that is a plus.

Also cant buy more than one console and buying one for just one game is bearable, but the wii is at a price where i can buy it just for wii sports and is ok, but hd consoles are another story
 

Try to keep up: the 360 is cheaper than the Wii in many parts of the world as well as offering the Arcade version in the US which is about the same price.

If someone *wants* to afford a console, they will.  If you "can't afford" it, that typically means you choose not to afford it because you have better things to spend your money on.  After all, people are still buying new cars and HDTVs.

The Wii is not a consolation price.  It's the best console.  This is why it's selling much faster than the PS2 ever did, despite having the Xbox 360 at approximately the same price point.  My 360 gets a small fraction of the play time my Wii gets. 

 


 Are you saying price is not a factor??? And about best console, what do you mean ? i know is the most popular but that does not means is the best (is Britney Spears the best singer ever?),  i only know 5 games for the wii and most are mini games or gamecube games remade(they don’t really need the wiimote and the wiimote does not makes then more fun they are fun anyway).

when the wii came out i thought i was going to see games like okami and shadow of the colossus (like those games not those games … because the wii is suppose to be innovative but no one is innovating they just fallowing Nintendo, and Nintendo is playing sure bets) in it but no, is Mario, link and metroid(uh and sonic),  that’s why i haven’t decide what to buy, i cant keep hearing a "pitting" when i pickup an item,scream "yupii" when i jump and pick up a star (how pretty /sarcams).  

 But you probably have never been budget constrained, so you will just say sell you fridge and the stove and buy a hd console.
