Speaking exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz, executive VP and COO of EA's worldwide studios, David Gardner, has revealed that the publisher believes the console will retail for around US $170 in North America.
Well the rumor started a while ago that the Nintendo would cost around 170US in Japan and were merely bringing the same price to the US. Fact that its coming from a real publisher actually gives some credibility to the rumor, albeit, its a rumor until Nintendo confirms it.
I think the price is right. Even at that price; I'm sure Nintendo is making a profit; they are not known to sell consoles cheaper than its production cost. Besides you don't have to be a genius to see this; how much hardware can you fit in that tiny box? I just hope Nintendo makes enough; this will sell like hot cakes.
While everyone is selling a next gen console at a high cost Nindy is selling a current gen console with a twist at a current gen price. :P How can you go wrong?
170 Euro/dollar. And the 360 Premium already in an action for 350 Euro/dollar. That makes 520 euro/dollar for Wii60 and a single PS3 non retarded version sets you back 80 dollars more then that combination.
For real. Even when price of 360 Premium is 400, still cheaper and more fun. Man I am gonna get a Wii instantly for this price!
i will get a wii and a ps3, forget the the 360 the games take too long to come out and i will be stuck with retarted live arcade games for months untill something decent comes out. and 90% of 360 games will come out eventually on pc so PS3 AND WII FOR ME.( can't wait for the new super smash bros)
damn! a pricetag of $200 was beyond good enough, but $170?!? amazing. this is still just rumors though.
Nintendo continues to deliver.
the console if it is 170, is a cheap ass bargain.
