@ #2: Would you rather have it in December or March, like the DS?



Anyway, i don't mind. As long as I get the console on or just after the release date and I don't have to share it with my f*"king brother, I'm happy!

Way late?? U rather wait till march like Sony makes u to? Besides MS no one did a launch so close together before, so be gratefull.

Nintendo a gamers best friend? Nah they are just another money grabbing multi-national like M$ & Sony.



At least M$ & Sony are ripping us off for next gen machines and not 5 year old technology.

I can't believe so many people are blind to this ripoff. The Wii is a scam to steal your money. Nintendo is painting the failed GameCube as a next-gen product, and you retards are eating it all up. Talk about s***** fed morons.



The Wii is not a next-gen system. It is debatable wether it's more powerful than the GC, and it is clearly inferior to the original Xbox because it can't even do pixel-shaders or play DVDs.



Nintendo's backwards mentallity will destroy this industry if the Wii is successful, which is a real longshot. Realistically, the Wii will most likely be dead-in-the-water. However, if you cretans want to pay hundreds of dollars for a company's failed garbage technology, go ahead and help kill off the videogame industry once and for all.

Wii is capable of specular maps and bloom and at the end of the day Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess looks much better than any Xbox 360 game out right now.



The price is pretty expensive but i'm going to import anyway so i'll save money on the exchange rate. Had my pre-order set in stone since last november.



As long as Nintendo & Sega are making games for the machine I couldn't give a rats ass what anyone else says. Nintendo always make AAA titles and I love playing them. (aside from the Mario Party games after Mario Party 64)

Even if Mario and Zelda did have good graphics, they'd still look like ***** because Wii can't even do HD. #15 needs to get a clue.

Seriously whats with all the hate? Just because youre 12 and dont have jobs and your parents live in council flats and cant afford clean underwear, doesnt mean this is a bad system, now shut up. Graphics arent everything and thats what makes me sick, how do you think everyone could possibly cope when playing a SNES or mega drive, they had gameplay!

Now p1ss off.

I don't beleive the number of people saying that £180 is bad for a next-gen machine - It's less than half as much as the PS3. OK, I admit it's a GC with a new controller and some new in-built apps, but it's the controller I want. It's just so innovative, and may even get my mum, dad and maybe even grandparents to get in on the action. I'm not saying it's an old person's console - From teenage titles like Zelda and titles for everyone like Wii Sports to kid-to-teenage titles like Mario, it's for ages 8-80.

Wii looks great, providing the first real chance to play in a new way since the birth of the light gun, as for the systems power, who cares?

The GC produced some great looking games and too much next gen power is wasted on HD, not everyone has a HD set you know, so I fully expect Wii games to look just fine, no one thinks Resi 4 or Metroid Echoes look poor do they?

So why not wait until you play a game on it before you take a stab at Nintendo for trying something different, at least you won;t have to remortgage the house to afford one, as with the PS3.

so 250e for the console? and 60e for the games?



well, thats far too high imho. with that pricing policy nintendo will not be able to compete in the christmas sales with the xbox 360.



ms will most likely drop the price for the 360 for christmas, and 300e is realistic for that console then.

with 360-games and wii-games at the same price level and the 360 having much more games by now, nintendo will loose the "nexgen wars" due to pure dumbness.



i thought they would not copy sonys mistakes, but obviously im wrong.



so for me it will be a bye-bye nexgen until the prices drop into a affordable segment (150e the console and 40-50e for the games are realistic and affordable for the wii).



also, i think nintendo does not notice one thing:

if a toy (and thats how n markets the wii) is too expensive, it wont be baught. 250e for a toy? never.
