I can't say I would buy one yet, mostly because I have access to one anyway. Really just waiting for that Zelda game, I suppose.
Not gonna tell a person their taste, but will say that the Wii does house more than 2 games.. or 3 franchises.

On a personal level, I think the console would be worth it alone for Mario Galaxy and the Metroid Prime Trilogy is a truly awesome deal.

I would point out some stuff, but I know what type of TV you game on, and really the Wii wouldn't look bad on it....

A $150 price tag might make me consider buying it.
I don't get how this relates to buying the console, but almost certain Nintendo's price margin on the console was that large.

If you factor in the fact giving away a game, and the controller tech, free wifi, on-board memory. It is a lot more expensive than just Gamecube tech as most people assume, but alas.

Eh its a tough crowd.

And I guess this won't be a surprise to anyone, I thought the Wii was a good deal at 250, and the library has only gotten stronger since the 3 years its been out. So I believe 200 is a fair price, but value is subjective.
