Forums - Gaming - How long until the Wii becomes the most expensive among the 3?

With the price drops here and there for both PS3 and Xbox 360. They are both reaching $300 price point while the Wii remains at $250 since launch.

Do you think the Wii will become the most expensive at some point? When?

No the Wii's price will drop before the other two main consoles reach $250 mark.



I think maybe 2 years depending on the price cuts PS3 and 360 gets.



250 with a Game and Wi-Fi built in... So even with the 360 at $250 it's still debatable.

I don't think the PS3 will drop to or below $250 before the Wii gets a price drop.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Of course it wont, half the sales of the wii come from people that bought it because the other 2 were to expensive.

 Where did you get that statistic?



It's doubtful that that will occur any time in the next 3 years. Though the 360's low-end model is approaching the same price as the Wii, it hardly matters; a great deal of the appeal of the Wii is that it is NOT like the 360 or PS3. Generally people looking at the Wii don't even glance at the alternative systems, because to them, they're not alternatives to the Wii at all.

Its called fantasy land, its where most wii fans gather hope of having good third party games come to the wii



Don't worry. Ninty will just lower the price before that happens... I reckon.
