Plus, if you're counting controllers, you're going to lose much more than $20. How much do you get for a Wii Remote? $10 at most (that's being very generous)? How much do they cost? $40. For every remote beyond the first, you're losing $20 and that's not even considering nunchucks. Plus, have you gotten any VC games? Are you one of the people that actually likes using the internet on the Wii? You can spin it however you want, it's just plain stupid to sell a console only to buy it again a few months later. |
They should probably drop the price this holiday season to $200. There are a lot of quality games coming out for all 3 systems this holiday season, but the PS3 and 360 seem to have the advantage here.
I know there are the mario games, but those are on every system Nintendo makes. Third parties are favoring the 360 and PS3 for their high profile games.
I think lowering the price to $200 would do a lot to stave off the momentum that the other 2 consoles will gain very soon, imo. I hope they leave it there, though, and continue making their millions on console sales alone, because I'd like the other 2 consoles to catch up (momentum-wise).
