Rumors of Wii price

[Millertime3818]

Nintendo said that the Wii will be no higher than $250 so im guessing that will be the price. they say 6 million units will ship by march, also 17 million games. 250 X 6 million + 17 million X $50... yea thats a lot of money.

remmber millertime when you say stuff like this you have to back it up with a link but this time ill do it for you.

Nintendo have issued a statement today with details on the launch of the next generation home entertainment console, the Wii. Confirming our earlier report, Nintendo officially announced that the Wii will ship for no more than $250, with a price of ¥25,000 or less in Japan. The gaming giant plans on shipping 6 million Wii systems worldwide between its launch, in the fourth quarter of 2006, and March 31, 2007.These projections are based on Nintendo's full-financial year forecast that suggests a growth of 18 percent in sales globally, based on anticipated continuing strong demand for the Nintendo DS portable game system, as well as a successful launch for Wii. The company also announced that it expects to sell a massive 17 million Wii games in the same period. You can expect exact launch dates, identification of the launch library of titles and details on the unique Virtual Console aspect of Wii to be announced soon.These financial predictions from Nintendo smashes rumour of woes over profit, with Nintendo confident that new consoles such as the Wii will boost sales, and that existing consoles such as the DS will continue to sell.

i read somewhere that there going to drop the price to 200 dollars

[svalbard]

that would be good. $200 is even better than $250. then you could get a wii and a game for $250

[s2756]

sorry but could some one put that into £ please???

[Payne]

nintendo has not decided on a price so it might be higher then $250 but nintendo did say it wont be any more then $350

[svalbard]

that is about 105.574324 British pounds

that is according to google translator. but the price might be different there

[corim123]

Yea and there games will be cheapest because they opted out of hi-def to save money and claim it will not make any difference except $10-$20 per game.

[svalbard]

and because they don't look much better than current-gen games

[corim123]

Yea but oh well thats what you get for your money.
