YES!!!..... the Wii owns Mii! But I think the PS3 sucks. It's over rated! The PS3 is not worth $600. I would pay like $400 for a Wii.
Anyone with common sense will beg to differ. It's worth $850, actually. Sony is selling it at a $250 loss.

re: Are Nintento Wii's Worth $250?

The people here are such fanboys. The Wii is just as over rated as the PS3, if not more. Also, Nintendo is the one overpricing their products, it costs them less to make the Wii than what they're selling it for. Like guticb said, Sony is losing $250 from each system sold. How is that overpriced?

re: Are Nintento Wii's Worth $250?

Someone saying the PS3 isn't worth $600 doesn't necessarily mean they think it costs less than $600 to produce. And when they say the Wii is worth the $250, that doesn't mean they think it costs more than that to make. It's called personal worth. What they think it's worth in relation to their interests. And I have to say, there aren't too many people I know of that think paying $600 is worth it for a game console. There's always Sony fans, though. The proof is in the pudding, my local Gamestop sold out of Wiis and have many PS3s in stock, even though there were more Wiis than PS3s produced so far.

No personally, Wii's are worth much more.

re: Are Nintento Wii's Worth $250?

I'll NEVER buy a console priced at $600. Trying to figure out which next-gen console to get first when I'm able to afford one, the PS3 is immediately ruled out. I don't care at all if they're selling at a loss, I'm not going to pity them and buy their console. The Wii costing just $250 is excellent, and though I'd prefer more of an online experience like XBox Live offers, that price tag will likely be the reason I buy the Wii when I can. Nintendo has exclusives I like, but not all of the ones I want like GTA, and definitely doesn't have the graphics, but I don't have an HDTV in the first place and the game exclusives and the price tag make up for it. To me, the Wii is worth spending $250 on, and the PS3 is not worth me shelling out an entire $600, no matter what Sony apologists say about their precious console costing way too much to make.

The PS3 is way tooo much if you ask me the PS3 should be less and the Wii is worth is soo much more than 250$
yeah i can't agree more with you
Three word for you "Hell Friggen Yeah." First of all the Wii doesn't worry about "Graphics" and personally I don't give a rats ass about that. If you want to blow of half of your money on a $600 dollar piece of shit and not to say the games went up $10 dollars in price for the PS3 then go get it and go have "fun" time with it and I'll be sitting on my ass and playing "the greatest Gamesystem I have ever had."

What is good about the Wii: What is good is that you really don't need to sit on your asses for this one. You can fell like your whole being is in the game. You can fell the sword slash the shit out of the enemy and you can drive a car like you really would in real life. The Sports that your not go at your good in the Wii. I mean I am no good a golf, I can't play to save my life but in the Wii I am pretty damn good. See I don't mind if the Wii dosen't have good "Graphics" like the Xbox 360 and the PS3 but this is worth ever single penny I spent and and much more.

well, "Hell Friggin Yeah", is such a weak word compared to what i would say. But it's so much better, i cannot say it on public internet. sinse i just bought LOZ TP today, im stuck on the part where you first get the horse. where do you go next? but this is off subject. so if you had to, would you pay $500 for a wii?

re: Are Nintento Wii's Worth $250?

I think the Wii is worth $250, $300 is the most I'd pay for it with the internet all the functions you can do like download old games,the forecast,music, and download pictures plus you got the controller. Then it's 2x as powerful as Gamecube, but well hold off on that for now. The PS3 is worth all it's bucks to even more, but without a suffiecent price drop it's to much also it doesn't have that many titles that the 360 doesn't already have.

No, it is about 2X stronger than the cube. Even less, actually.

Cube specs:
485MHz processor
43MB RAM
162MHz video card

Wii specs:
729MHz processor
88MB of RAM
243MHz video card

I wouldn't pay more than $250, which is most of the reason I refuse to purchase one above-cost on Ebay. Nintendo has done an excellent job of keeping this system at a reasonable price, balancing innovation and technology.

I was a Playstation fanatic until they unveiled the $600 price point of the PS3, and $70 price of the games. PS3 may be a great system with great games (one day), but until it is $250 or below, I'll be more than happy with my Wii (well...when I can actually find one )

Heres another question, is anyone buying a Wii to tide you over until the 360 or PS3 are more affordable?

The Wii will be my main system this gen it has more that interests me PS2 was last gen, but once I get a job.
When I turn 16 next month I will wait for a PS3 I won't spend $600 when I could be saving up for college, or a car. I do want to get one though eventually when the price drops I dont want to get the 360 though my brother has one, and I just wanna to shove the PS3 in his face.
