I added it up. It's around $82 million profit made so far. But that can be put into other accessories and games.

Wii is worth $500 but its only 250 so yay.

The PS3 is the overpriced one at $600. The advertised "1080p" high-definition graphics are not available for the current PS3s. In fact, upon buying the PS3, it requires you to turn your high-definition levels down to "720i", which is a moderate (but lame in regards to how they advertised the PS3) upgrade from the PS2. The Blu-Ray discs have also not been made, according to Sony, to their "true potential".
WRONG. I've got mine running at 1080P right now. Oh, and I just finished watching a Blu-ray movie at 1080P.... Amazing....

Actually the Wii is overpriced, It was said to be worth $200.

Zomg kill Nintwendo.
See below.

$110 at the most Nintendo should be charging, it only cost them about $20 to make each system anyways so its not like they are Sony and have to sell at those kinds of a cost(Sony are losing $300 per console sold by the way)
See below...

The price it costs to manufacture a Wii is $158. Therefore, they make about $92 for every Wii sold. Meanwhile, Sony loses about $258 for every PS3 sold, and MS loses about $100 for each 360 sold.

re: ARE NINTENDO WII's WORTH $250?

If nobody can't afford the Nintendo Wii or the PS3
then *bleep* those systems
who gives a shit about them anyways
These new systems are getting crappier every year
The old systems(like the original Playstation or Nintendo 64)are the best compared to the new ones coming out

re: ARE NINTENDO WII's WORTH $250?

guticb, I've read several reviews of the PS3, and each one of them has complained of having to downgrade their high definition performance.





So that means you're either lying badly, or because you got lucky.

It doesn't "downgrade the definition".

IF your TV supports 1080i, but not 720P, and the game you are playing ONLY supports 720P and below, the PS3 will then, and ONLY then downscale the game to 720i.

Oh, and there are almost NO TV's that support 1080i but not 720P.

Yes, it is worth it.

What? The 'legal' age for a job is 16. I guess you'll be SOL gaming-wise in 3 years, kid.
Besides, many games are rated M for 17+. But I guess it's fine as long as they don't have a job, right?

re: ARE NINTENDO WII's WORTH $250?

The Wii's real problem at the moment is that it's best game is also a GC game.

Next year, when the other big 1st party games start coming out, yeah, but until then, just get TP on the Gamecube.

re: ARE NINTENDO WII's WORTH $250?

So far, no. I can't think of one reason for me to buy a Wii, as none of it's launch games interest me one bit. None of the games for the next 6 months interest me either, so I might look into one 1-3 years from now.

In general, I'd say the price is about right. It's a lot less technologically advanced than the 360 or PS3, and they cost a few hundred more, so the price looks alright for the Wii.

re: ARE NINTENDO WII's WORTH $250?

None of the next gen consoles are worth their prices at the moment. But they are what they are, and the prices aren't going to change too soon (except for maybe PS3's, I talked to a man whoworked for Sony last week and he said is considering lowering the price to $400-$500 in either jan or feb) so deal with them.

re: ARE NINTENDO WII's WORTH $250?

The PS3 is losing shitloads of money per unit sold as-is, Sony really can't afford to lower prices further.

re: ARE NINTENDO WII's WORTH $250?

It is great fun, play it alone or with a few friends or at a party, whatever way you choose everyone will take to it and have a laugh. A load of my relations played it and are now wishing they could get their own ones (not all of them were gamer before hand). If you like Nintendo's games series or classics then you all but must get it. I have found more and more gamers I know are becoming fond of it. As for the people saying that Nintendo is making a profit and Sony is suffering a loss, one question, which takes more from my pocket because that is the only thing I, and a lot of other gamers, care about for the price.
