[King Wiired]

Can already see the majority of conversations on here tomorrow... "CANNOT WAIT TIL TOMORROW" nuff said methinks

$170 is so low that anyone will buy it, even if they don't know what it is! I wonder what the production cost for the Wii is, it can't be very much at all if they are making profit at that price.

Wow, $170 is an amazing price.
I wouldnt doubt if they bumped it up to $200 which is still a damn good price. Much more appealing than a useless $600 product coming out soon.

Enough Close Thread Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We Will Know By Wednesday Lets Stop Assuming And Wait Thank You!

 

[JCpackers05]

Just another guess from people who dont know anything....the only people who know when its coming out and how much it will be is Nintendo

 

[Big_League_Slugger]

anything under $229.99 would be sweet.

With the console you don't need to sell for a profit, you can sell the console itself for a loss and make a profit form the games and peripherals. I mean you only buy one console but you buy lots of games. Plus think how much a game costs to make, even if it costs a couple of million divided amongst the disks you can still sell them for peanuts and make a profit.
