Is Sony's defense, I read that each individual PS3 costs $900 to make. In that same article I read that Micro$oft loses over $100 for each Xbox they sell also. I tell yeah, this console business is cutthroat.

the 64 controller was amazing, i loved it. the gamecube controller is growing on me now too.
so when is the Wii coming out exactly? |
At E3, Nintendo revealed that Wii will be out on the last quater of this year. Soooo, most likely around November-ish, probably before Thanksgiving.
PS3 is not even worth looking at in my opinion. They didn't even have a PS3 display at E3, while Nintendo had a MAJOR presentation that showed how much it really is an evolution in gaming. AND, Wii will be sold for UNDER $200! So, hmm, overpriced system that pretty much has nothing new, or an affordable system that made gaming history (big time), and is much more unique and creative.
Wii also has some amazing games that'll be up. Heck, they're making Zelda: Twilight Princess available on the same day as Wii's release because it's one of the most hard-worked-on games they made.
Oh, and by the way, for those who don't completely like the Wii controller (even though you haven't even tried it, hence you technically can't judge it), you will be able to use the GC controller and NES controller -- though I can't remember if they mentioned the SNES and N64 controller. Either way, Twilight Princess will be available for GC too (obviously), so you don't necessarily need Wii to play that game. There's one game I'm definitely going to want in the Wii collection though, and all I could say is... <Insert Chewbacca call here>

I'm going to be forking over someone else's $600 for one the day it's released. And then, all will rejoice.
Also, even the name of the new Nintendo system sickens me. Nintendo made a mess of things for yet another system.

| I work at a Toys R Us part time... the original price we were quoted at was 700$ and THAT was going to be a loss for Sony.... so I guess don't expect the price to go down for a fair amount of time. |

i just don't understand who sony's target audience is at that price. 500 sounds less intimidating than 600 but even at 500 i don't know who the audience would be.
it sounds like maybe 2 people on this forum are going to buy one. as a group, we are the gaming industry's perfect consumer ideal, and almost none of us are going to buy one of these. that says something. |

| I'm still trying to figure out how to pronounce the new Nintendo console. Do you say Wii like "Weee"? |

Why buy it? wait till the modders get the xbox360 hacked and buy it then. Free games. I have a 160 HD in my xbox right now with snes and nes and genesis games. I have 40 games on there at the moment. I pay $1.89 for my games I cant beleive people pay 60 bucks for them. unbeleiveable. I wouldnt buy the ps3 the new nintendo coming out is way better and alot cheaper.
to each thine own I guess. spend your money i'll get mine alot cheaper |

Who, Nintendo? I did. I was quite disappointed. Only game that even deserves a second look is Red Steel.
