Cubechris Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 The Gamecube was to cheap to begin with, giving Nintendo very little leway for price cuts. Ofcourse I was happy though. £130 at launch, yeah alright
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 I think anything from £130-170 is fine. £180 depending on what you get with the console (bundles, etc). If they announced that the console would be retailing for 300 quid, THATS when you should be worried.
DCK Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Going under the $200/€200 barrier makes a huge difference - it makes it look dirt cheap in comparison to the 360 and the PS3 simply because the first digit is 1. Nintendo will choose the strategy which will give the best result but that doesn't mean profit automatically. If Nintendo can achieve a larger userbase with more aggressive pricing it will gain them more profit in the longer run. That's why I'm pretty certain Nintendo will go under the $/€200 pricepoint, and that means the Wii will be about £130-140 in Britain.
Mikey Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 £170 is too much. £150 is the max I'm willing to go. It's not that I can't afford £170, it's just a matter of principal for me.
mike-zim Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 well i will buy the console anywhere up to £200. i have a budget of £300. but i want extras like at least 2 controlers nunchuk and 3 games. this is minimum for me.
Tellyn Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 I'm under the impression that a wrist strap will be included seeing as they don't want broken controllers or objects that the controllers are dropped on/thrown at.
Colin Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 I can't see it being sold for above £150...........and I will be struggling to find the cash if it's around the £200 mark (although student loan may come in handy there).
Sooj Posted July 11, 2006 Author Posted July 11, 2006 £200 is the maximum price I would spend on any console (exluding games, extra controllers etc) so I will definitly be buying a Wii but hopefully, not for me but for most casual gamers the price will be £150 max. £170 for a Wii does actually seems pretty pricey. They can always make a small loss on the console and make it all back with the games...as the trend goes in todays generation.
welsh_gamer Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I think it will be £159.99 and will come with Wii sports. Then games will have an RRP of £39.99 - £44.99. Then hopefully GAME will do a good Wii package deal, seeing their Nintendo fanboys all of a sudden!
mike-zim Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 yeah i will be trying to save as much as possible and trying to get the best package possible. one that gives me the most money off.
