Mr. Bananagrabber Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 http://darkzero.co.uk/v4/games/news/10427/wii-wii-could-sell-for-less-than-100 I doubt it like, but get in if it's true innit.
Ashley Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 19,800 yen literally = £90 which actually equals = £120
Raven Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Wii Could Sell For Less Than £100?A very competitive price if true Nintendo's new Wii console could be yours later this year for much less than anyone ever expected. Tokyo-based Nikko Citigroup has issued a report on Nintendo's rising stock price, and between all the jargon is the financial institution's forecast that the Wii will carry a Japanese price point of 19,800 yen. At the Current exchange rates would put an equivalent US price at $170.00 (Around £90) However, as we all know the exchange rate is never a confident way of determining. This news should not be taken as fact and no price is set in stone until Nintendo officially announce it (whenever that may be), but in this day and age when the price of console are at stupidly high amount it's nice to have an inkling that a console will soon hit store shelves that EVERYONE can afford (even if it means a little bit of saving up still needs to be done for some younger gamers that may want to get thier hands on it). would be nice, but i doubt it.
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 I saw this earlier, and decided not to add it to the mainpage. May as well just wait for Leipzig and get the news then. Plus, there's been too many rumours around lately about everything, including release date, price, games, etc.
MunKy Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 It wont sell for under £100. Shipping costs, tax and all that crap will push it up.
KKOB Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 i think it would be disasterous if it sold for 120 or less, it needs to 150 or more or else it will get branded as unimportant. i hate the way things like that work
Kazzahdrane Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 i think it would be disasterous if it sold for 120 or less, it needs to 150 or more or else it will get branded as unimportant. i hate the way things like that work Indeed, and also too close in price to the DS/Lite.
KKOB Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Indeed, and also too close in price to the DS/Lite. very very good point! if they launched at that price they may risk canabalising the DS Lite sales.
The3rdChildren Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Anything under £200 sounds just dandy to me, the less the machine the more games I can afford.
Dcubed Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 £150 is just right. Very much in the mainstream but still safely above the DS Lite.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 I still think it will be in between £150 and £180. Like 3RD said, anything under £200 will do me fine.
raven_blade2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 £150 will do for me nicely. Its gonna be an expensive christmas anyway.
mcj metroid Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 the cheaper the better,I really can't see it being lower than ds though.I wouln't mid playing 200 euro for it and thats max really
KKOB Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 You know you are a Nintendo Fanboy when you worry about the price being too low! A price of about £150-£180 should suit the Wii nicely. Anything lower than that, it will sell but it will affect sales of the DS lite. Higher and people won't buy the console. seee!!!! my point exactly. under 200, plus 150 is a great price plus leaves room for price cuts a couple years down the line.
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 why are my posts dissapearing Has it just been this topic? Or have their been others?
BeerMonkey Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 i made a thread earlier on and its gone...also the posts in this thread are gone
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 Hmm, bugger. A whole load of posts disappeared in general chit chat, too. I'm thinking it was some form of forum glitch or something. Hmm, can you try reposting that thread, tyler? See if it works.
Rick Dangerous Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 I hoping for a price battle between between the ps3 and wii. Like when the xbox and gamecube came out at the same time. That was awesome. Im hoping for £150 though, anymore will limit my games library .
The Peeps Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 £120 would be fantastic, £150 is more likely though but I hope it isn't more than that. Are games still going to be £40?
KKOB Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 £120 would be fantastic, £150 is more likely though but I hope it isn't more than that. Are games still going to be £40? first party games wont be any higher than 40/45 GBP i think.
Cube Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 I think I'll eMail Koch Media from my new work eMail addy. I work for a software reseller company, who have dealings with Kosh. Hopefully, I can get some information for the "company".
Helmsly Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 I hope its no more then £120. Nothing I've seen for the Wii so far has made me think its worth anymore then that.
