you can't say much about the 360 yet because once developers start on the path of HD-DVD and they release the peripheral for it... then you'll know just how much you invested in the 360

I don't want to watch HD-DVD movies on my 360.

Agreed. I think the vast majority of console buyers purchase consoles solely for games, with movie watching a distant afterthought.

$250 is a little high for the Wii. $200 makes more sense.

$250 makes me feel like I'm getting a better product. I know it sounds n00b but it's the truth. Doesn't raw inflation take account for this price though? I mean, it can't be the same price as the N64.

If it's not $200....

I agree with you GM, me and BAB were having a conversation about this the other day. I also think one of the reasons the ipod does so well is because of it's price point. But hey, I could be wrong.

Nintendo won't make any mistakes with the price. And for once and for all, The Wii isn't a controller upgrade to the GameCube.

are you saying that sales would be lower if it was priced, say 20% less?

i really think the iPod has done well because of its advertising/marketing and product quality
