Quote:ABF/ Why would anyone be 'dissapointed' by the price when Nintendo clearly stated it wont go beyond 250? If it launched at 215 (like in Japan) would that be 'not dissapointing'? I honestly believe some people expected Wii to launch at 100 bucks and pay 30 bucks for Mario Galaxy. Probably so they can find out what planet they're on.
Yeah, $215 would be reasonable... $250 though... it's obvious that Nintendo really wants to make as much profit as possible off of this thing...
Quote:But we're talking about a market with $400 to $600 consoles that dont have as many features as the Wii. Plus, Wii is launching at the same price point as the NES, SNES, N64 and GC. It makes total sense.
Huh? It's $50 more than those...
