Of course they do... you think Nintendo can afford giving away $90 worth of stuff to everyone who buys a Wii? And the SNES controller was much less, not to mention that "free" isn't really free because they need to make money and it is put into the final price anyway.

Okay, let's count it up.

Wii [hardware unit] - $99
Wiimote + Nunchuck - $60
Free game [Wii Sports] - $50

= Roughly $200.

See?

See what? I don't know what you are trying to prove.... I thought you were trying to prove that we shouldn't have a non-bndle...

I am trying to prove that Nintendo overpriced the Wii... It should be sold for $200.

Who told you the actual Wii was only $99? That seems way too low.

Do you want a quote from developers? I believe EA said that could sell it for $99 and make a profit.

I'll beleive that when I here it from Nintendo. :gyroiddoh: And lets remember that the GCN was $150, I doubt the Wii would be less.

Okay, $170. Still less than $250.

 

[Fanghorn]

I'm pretty sure it was $150.

And:

$170 +
$50 (wii sports) +
$60 (controller) =

$280

EA meant the Wii box, not the Wii as a piece of hardware individually.

The GCN released for $200. I honestly remember. :|

They probably didn't know it would come with a game. Not to mention that all they did is take a guess.

 

[JJRamone2]

okay, excuse me but this effing sucks that the nunchuck won't be sold with the wiimote, also in canada (for ontario) its way overpriced, I could save like 50 bucks if it werent for the .14 sales tax. Ahh well, its the only thing I wan't for my birthday and thats right at the launch so I'm lucky.

 

[Justin]

13% here, I know what your talkign about, taxs suck here.

 

[Bulerias]

Gosh, and I thought my 6.5% sales tax was bad.

 

[Smart_Tech_Dragon_15]

I love Missouri and their low sales tax.


^_^

Anyways, just $286.00 for me. I know, not much, since there really aren't any games that I want at launch, I'm putting money into virtual console downloads. Oh, and a retro controller. I just like the old design better.

@Bul - $600!?! Looks like you'll be booked with concerts until....2015.

 

[ƒish]

I think what you guys are overlooking (storm and bul) is that the wiimote and game aren't even worth that much...

wiimotes are being sold at a profit (the main part of the reason for why i'm pissed off.), they're easily only worth $40 apiece even with all that crap in them, its old technology being put to new uses, it should be inexpensive... and Wii Sports technically cost them less than $5, they could have sold the wii for $150 if they truly felt like getting ahead of everyone else, but they didn't and they wont, so they're actually going to lose money doing that if you think about it...

So, not getting TP or something? And I only have to do a couple of more concernts and just ask for money on my occasions before the launch to get all the money... After all, I already have $330.

@ Fish - Good point. Nunchuck + Wiimote could've been sold for $40 instead of $60, and Wii Sports should be sold as a bargain title, like Brain Age, which sells for $19.99...

Wow, lucky.

A lot of states have 4%. :gyroidsurprised:

*eats you head off*

 

[MasterDS]

That might explain my figure as well.




I'm getting TP... For Gamecube. I can still play it on the Wii, though. It's backwords compatable!

Still, the launch line up sucks. Atleast with the 360 there was Kameo and PD0. What does Wii have? Barnyard, Avatar, spongebob (A game that looks like *CEN-2.0-SORD*, yet everyone praises), and TP with sucky fighting controlls, but AWSOME FISHING. And you know I play Zelda to fish.




Galaxys, Prime 3, and Brawl are going to be awsome when they come out, though.

Only launch game that looks good to me is THDJ, and I'm allready getting the DS version (Although they are different. One doesn't have Online play. :r )

 

[Furry Sparks]

$312, But I only have around $200 .... I get $5 a week, and that's not enough to get a wii by then..
All I'm getting is TP and the wii. I have very little money. >_>
