The Xbox 360 is Microsoft's most expensive console. And the Playstation 3 is Sony's most expensive console. Is $250 a good price for the Wii? Well, seeing how everything now days are over priced anyways, why not? In fact, because the Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 are so expensive, the Wii can get away with a $50 increase in price. If the Playstation 3, and Xbox 360, were $300 each, than the Wii would probably be $200, just like last generation. |
Nintendo will let sales dictate the price, just like Sony and Microsoft. Whenever sales start declining significantly, is when you will see a price cut (And yes, sales WILL eventually decline at $250).

Pacther is an idiot.... He just sees what other companies are doing and guesses Nintendo will do it.
In the vast majority of the world, Wiis are supply-limited. We cannot even begin to guess how many would sell if everyone had them in stock and Galaxy, Metroid, SSBB and MK Wii were all there + $50 price cut if necessary. I'd say slightly better than the PS2.

If you are interested in trying Ubuntu or Linux in general, PM me and I will answer your questions and help you install it if you wish.
Wii´s are still hard to find were I live.
It shows how important casual gamers are to this industry.
By the way: Does anyone know how to add diagrams as pictures/avatars? I know how to add a picture I think, but I don´t have a clue how to add a diagram made in Microsoft Word... anyone knows?
If I hear one more moronic asshole telling me I am a casual gamer because I own I Wii I will beat a sony fanboy to death with an empty ps1 box (this will take a while and be exceptionally painful) . The PS1 and 2 built their careers on selling games to a whole new generation of (casual) gamers, people that didnt play games before. Ive been playing consoles since the late 80s and my casual ass will happily show you how to play any game of your choice.

It's tempting to do just to rid the world of a Sony Fanboy... but that would leave the other one all alone. ;)
Numbers are like people. Torture them enough and you can get them to say anything you want.

If sales start declining, they can easily do this:
Wii + Super Smash Bros Brawl + Wiimote+Nunchuck+Classic Controller for 300.
Wii + WiiFit + Balance Board for 250
Wii`s Trinity Pack : Wii + Galaxy + MP3 + Smash ---> 330
There are so many bundle possibilities...wonder when will they start.
Anyone knows when did the GC bundles started?

If sales decline very bad, they can just cut the price sure they might start loosing money but they'll end of selling alot of wii's and make money on software.
