$50 less isnt a big push to get a used console vs a new one. Plus, if you didn't know, a lot of shops are adding a free Wii Sport Resort with WM+ with the purchase of a new Wii. So your $150 Wii without that $50 game isn't really a good deal

Try dropping the price to $100, you'll get it sold faster.

When responding to such posts you must assume that they are genuine even if you do not agree with the proposed actions. Selling a console is first and foremost a financial decision. Meaning that a person is usually selling a console, because they need the cash, or they want to reinvest in their gaming hobby. There is nothing wrong with selling a unused console to pay bills, or to use the money to buy a number of new or used games.

Some members are just oblivious to the financial situations of others. Most gamers have to be a lot more frugal with their income. They just cannot buy every game they want. Most cannot even really support multiple platforms. So eventually in a generation gamers do tend to consolidate. This does happen every generation.

Might I suggest to the original poster that peer to peer may be the best option. Most people are too quick to resort to online auctions. They may be simple and fast, but a little face to face with a real world buyer can usually get you more value. Even using pin up boards at retailers can bring a good deal your way.

A couple months ago a guy I knew straight up traded a used Wii with two bad games to a peer for a PS3 with four good games. A hint find young parents that need to trade down. You usually get the console plus the entire library in such trades. Ironically peer to peer trading is usually more lucrative, and hilariously it is also far simpler then casting a wide net like the internet. All you need to do is drop your interest to a few friends, and usually within a couple weeks you can strike up a good deal.

Frankly I don't understand why more people don't do it. We did this for decades, and we usually got far better value. My parents bought me a grand total of six or seven games for my original Nintendo, and by the end of that generation I had up traded to a library of thirty games. Just through two for one or three for one trading.

I think your subconcience is trying to tell you to try out Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn especially since you mixed it up with the Tales title. It is a tactical JRPG, excellent game. In my opinion, more than worth keeping the Wii by itself.

If you can't find quality Wii games at brick and mortar, try online shopping. Especially when Amazon, Best Buy and GameStop offer free shipping these days and have great selections online, online shopping is very worth it these days. If you still can't find what you are looking for from those merchants, theres always ebay and what not. I have yet to have encountered any problems yet with finding games that I want after acquaintaining myself with online shopping 7+ years ago.

There are literally hundreds of games on the Wii, I don't see how you can't find at least a dozen games that would fit with your interests. The same goes for the 360, PS3, DS and PSP. Unless you really need the money for something else, I wouldn't advise him on selling the Wii. Especially with all the jrpgs coming out for it and his interest in the genre. Unless he only wants to play in HD.

There are heap's of games I'd love to buy on the Wii, but I don't like online shopping and the effort to find the specific games I want is a nuisance considering it's much easier to buy games for my other consoles. I don't know if it's Nintendo's fault or the retailers, but the Wii games that I do find are far to expensive, Super Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princess, Super Smash Bros. Brawl are all at launch price l in Australia. The Wii isn't for everyone and despite what many may think, it is a casual console drowned in shovelware, it's sad but true. 

bad time to sell the Wii for the lack of JRPG, just hold on to it if you can't sell it for uh, 150.

I don't know what the situation is like in Australia but in North America buying niche 'core' Wii games is incredibly convenient. Doing a simple search at Amazon.com/ca, Bestbuy.com/ca, Gamestop.com/ca, ebay.com/ca is much, much more convenient than driving or even walking to the local GameStop to get a game.
