I think that because of the technology involved, Nintendo were able to create a monolopy on their peripherals. At least, for a short time they could and that meant taking large stacks of money to their third warehouse filled with money, gold, and soon enough, our souls.

Nice job Nintendo, but at least they are not really over doing it with the prices. I mean, they could make the nunchuck an extra ten dollars...

The Balance board and wheel will be pack ins, should not count them.... I sure hope the wheel is just an option they put with MK for the casuals... I really would like to play it will a Cube controller.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

I use the Gamecube controller to play my VC games and prefer it instead of the classic.

Yes.. let's forget the fact that the PS3 has the eyetoy and can use 7 controllers 300$ even with the original sixaxis but everyone so far will need to purchase 7 anyway because of rumble! Because obviously you need the max of everything to enjoy a console. I own about 80$ in virtual console items and 0 classic controllers.. so really you can get rid of them... and even than 1 is enough and even then with the exception on SNES & N64 you can use the Wii remote for every VC game thus far.
