Price it too high and it won't have a good attach rate. Hence games that will support it probably will not offer a difference game experience with or without it so that everyone will be able to play them...

End of 2009 ltd sales:

Wii = 67-68m

X360 = 38-39m

PS3 = 34-35m

Prediction: The PS3 will surpass the 360 on weekly sales after it drops to $299 on all regular weeks (no big releases).

Cheaper would be better.
But it is not like I am not going to buy it.

I just hope that stores don't try to charge an extra $5 for this (see Gamestop on Link's Crossbow Training, see many retailers on the Wii Wheel).

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Buying it with game bundles... WSR, Gran Slam Tennis... I think there will be more games bundled with it in the future



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

That's what I was thinking. Unless there's a game that truly needs it, and I happen to really want that game then I'll buy it. Any other way it's not worth it to me.

It will be interesting to see the sales prior to the the release of Virtua Tennis. Thats the first title being released in PAL region anyway about 3 weeks later.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

i thought it was going to be at least $30....I have to wait and see what games utilize it to see if the price tag justifies it, and hopefully development costs go down and they could lower the price

You should congratulate me. I destroyed the vile red falcon and saved the universe. I consider myself a hero.

I'm not down with it either. Fine price with the software, but it feels uncomfortable without.

these guys are making motion+ and are thier cheapest gyroscope is $30

however the $40 model sounds closer to what motion+ appears to be. obviously nintendo gets them cheaper because of the economies of scale but factor in packaging, distribution and retailer'c cut and the price seems resoanable to me

In the US the device will be out for 1 week before any anounced games for it are available. I'm really thinking Nintendo might drop a bomb on us at E3 and anounce a game that will be available the same day that WM+ is. It doesn't make any sense to release WM+ if nothing uses it.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
