What is the relevance of your graph in the price discussion? How does it disprove that innovators and early adopters are willing to pay higher prices than the majority?

Because the price of the original Wii wasn't what stimulated demand. I'll let you think about that for a moment.

the thing isnt portable...at all. You cant even leave the house with the gamepad

Hell I cant even go to the next room, I hope they can somehow improve that thru an update or revision

is that really true? cause ive only played at stores as i dont know anyone who has it. That is truly pathetic then. Even the silly remote play that Sony had had a much better range and that was PSP

I'm pretty sure they tried replicating Wii's success, but instead of just going for casual gamers and Nintendo fans, they tried to please everyone.

Indeed. It was the disruptive nature of the Wii that made it sell as much as it did.
