Comments on: I need a Wii http://electricpig.blogsome.com/2006/04/28/i-need-a-wii/ Just another WordPress weblog Sat, 05 Dec 2009 09:51:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: Rob http://electricpig.blogsome.com/2006/04/28/i-need-a-wii/#comment-11 Tue, 16 May 2006 11:07:59 +0100 http://electricpig.blogsome.com/2006/04/28/i-need-a-wii/#comment-11 Dont take my word for it, but an article for forbes.com has a marketing guy from Sega saying that Wii wont be over $200. Nice! “Bet on the Wii will selling for less than $200,” says Scott Steinberg, vice president of marketing for Sega). “Prices for both the Microsoft and Sony machines are higher due to their heavy-duty processing power, and the PS3 will also feature Sony’s next generation Blu-Ray DVD drive.” $200 dollars could get you a Wii, and some change that can go to buying a few TurboGrafx and Hudson games. Less then $2 each. Why bother with anything else? Dont take my word for it, but an article for forbes.com has a marketing guy from Sega saying that Wii wont be over $200. Nice!

It wont let me post photos here. If you go to nintendogossip.com. Scroll through the 9th May blogs, youll find Nintendo's 'Other' controller for NWii. Looks like the SNES controller with analogue.

I was never happy with Revolution and was thankful that that was only the code name. It's a catchy name and will stick in peoples mind...possibly for the wrong reason yeah haha Have you seen the new NWii Wiimote? Not much has changed, the under belly 'B' button, its longer but most strikingly is they uncovered the speaker set in the Wiimote. I'd post a link but my comment gets flagged for spam eep I like the name myself. I was never happy with Revolution and was thankful that that was only the code name.

This is where you're hiding? I've been wondering :-) Good to see you're alive after all this time and that you've now got yourself a real blog! == This Wii crap just sad. The Inquirer puts it well: "....with a complete straight face, the marketing department of Nintendo has really opted for the word that in Scotland means 'small' and in the UK means 'to urinate'."
