"As long as there is a Triforce, there will be a Zelda  As long as there is a prosperous kingdom, there will be an evil that wants destroy it And as long as there is an oppressive force running Hyrule, there will be a boy, in a green tunic, with a silver shield, and a magic blade, to stand against them."-The Legend of Zelda

Seriously, hands down, the Wii has all that AND more

The second complaint about the Wii's price is how badly Nintendo is reaming the consumers. Yeah we all know that these companies are in this buisness to make money, but this is rediculous. Nintendo think that they are a gas company and price goudging is cool. I find it disgusting that a "casual freindly" company like Nintendo can go after a casual base and perposly kick them in the balls on the price just because they are not tech savy consumers.

What do you think a fair price would have been?


$99, Companies are only good Companies if they loose money with every product they sell...

I keep asking myself, we buy games, consoles, cars, tvs, mp3s, etc... every company out there is being unfair with us for selling us a product and making money from it???


Those greedy bastards.  How dare they have the audicity to sell their products for profit.

Really, didn't Microsoft sell the X360 at a loss, at least for a while?  I don't ever recall posters lauding MS for magnanimously losing money in the interest of us gamers.  Why is such praise reserved exclusively for Sony?

Most people aren't loyal to a particular console. The price of the Wii as well as the fact that you can practically play the games with anyone you know make the Wii more interesting to a lot of people.
