Just sold my Wii

I wouldn't hold my breath for a Wii price cut anytime soon. It looks like it's going to continue to sell very well (and more than likely sell out) through the holidays so there will be no reason for a price cut.

Also, even if the Wii were $200, you would have spent $450 on two consoles while receiving only $180. I guess you could think of that as kind of a loan since you're still losing money, but I'm guessing you sold your remotes as well and those aren't dropping in price for a very long time. If you had any games for the system, you probably got at most $20 for them and unless you had things like Red Steel (which you won't get $20 for) you're not making anything back if you want those games again.

Okay, simple math here:

I spent $410 on the Wii, controllers, and games. I sold it for $340.

If they drop the price to $200, that is $50 less than I paid for the sytem.

So, if I buy a system next year at $200, I would be at a net loss of $20 and will have dumped two games I beat and will never play again.

For the life of me, I can't see how I'm losing out except for the fact that I won't be playing Wii for the next six months or so. But like I said, that's not a problem because there are more than 5 360 games I'm dying to play over the holidays.
