Rumors: Wii Price and Launch
Posted Sep 8, 2006 at 7:38AM EST by QJ Staff

 Listed in: Wii Tags: MCV, UK
Ó
rumorWhile we await Nintendo's official Wii launch details, we saw an article that got our attention. According to MCV, the Wii console will be out by November 24, with a $280 tag. MCV is confident that they have the right info and backs up their statement.

Whoa. There are a lot of rumors and analysis on when the launch will be, but not this close. If that's the case a lot of people will be able to try out the Wii before the holidays. Once the reviews come out positive, there will be more buyers by December. The price is just right as well, it means that it'll be a lot cheaper than the Xbox360 and the PS3.

However, according to Nintendo UK, the report was "definitely not right", and that the facts issued were only speculatory and not factual. We don't know what the representative was exactly talking about: the price or the launch date? Both? We hope that the rumor was wrong with the price; that it's actually lower.

To get the real deal we'll have to listen in on the company's press conference next Friday. We'll report you the official statement as soon as we get them!

Hunter,



Ummm, these aren't QJ's "facts" - we're reporting on news stated on other websites. Secondly, the referenced site says it'll be 149 pounds, which equals $280 (US). I suggest you get your facts straight before jumping on a bandwagon.

Yes if is right about the 180$ price tag Nintendo lied to us. What do you mean Wii is alot cheaper then xbox 360. If wii was 280$ is would onley be 20$ cheaper then the 360

# beacause of currency fluctuations 149 pounds is 249 dollars — TheProfessor 2006-09-08 10:04
If you want to talk about buying power. The dollar is currently weak and thus when you do a direct conversion it might seem high for the US.



249 for a Wii still seems expensive to me. To be honest the games on the machine have shown worst graphics than even the gamecube. Will the Wii be just a gamecube with a peripheral and a bunch of budget titles like Wii Sports?



Give me some good party games where I can have a blast swinging my Wii around Nintendo. Also a 199 price or don't even bother. I am not going to pay $150 more just for the controller.

you do know that the pictures we've seen aren't actually the graphics, right? ninty's keepin the graphics a secret for now, and a picture isnt as good as the real thing either. the graphics are supposed to be a helluva lot better. get your facts straight. and arent you being greedy with that $199 price tag? how about $600 freakin bucks for a ps3? or $400 for the good 360? $250 sure seems like a helluva deal to me.

Nintendo bosses already said it'll be less than $250,-

So less than $400,-.. Of course !

The release is already said that it's going to be before 2007... So nothing you say is new to any of us.
