The Wii needs more than a price cut to go beyond where it is now.

i think the main problem for the wii is not to sell more consoles, but to keep the buyers interest in the console. for example, better games, more downloadable content, firmware updates, ect.

The WII needs to be 99-150, but more so it needs more focus on games.... speaking of which Metroid prime trilogy with wii controls!!

I completely agree. I finally have a Wii due to their extremely limited supply. 6 months later? Still playing Mario Kart and Wii Fit. While they're good games everything else is just sooooo gimmicky. The only ray of hope I see coming is the house of the Dead....gotta get it.

The Wii needs better games. I could very well see how one would want to trade this console in for the ps3 or xbox 360. My 11 yr old had the opt to get the Wii or Xbox 360 and after playing the Wii at his cousins house...he said it was too girlyish so he chose the xbox 360 which I lucked up and got for a mere $160 off ebay.

Nintendo would lose money if the Wii was sold at $100-150. Razor and Blades is not Nintendo's style. A price cut to $200 or a bit less should be doable though. The price cut should have come awhile ago.

As for PS3, SONY should concentrate on making a profit off their PS3. It's too late to catch up to the console war race now. Besides, you could even argue that Nintendo was the real winner last gen because the Gamecube was actually profitable for Nintendo whereas the Xbox and PS2 I believe weren't.

As for games, it's a myth that the Wii doesn't have enough good games. Unless you equate good with stunning graphics. There are enough quality titles for the Wii that will occupy your time. The 360 has the largest number of quality titles (by metascore standards at least) and more quality titles gives you more options so that's why I went with that but if you own a Wii you are not exactly screwed. You just have less options but the library is sufficient enough to occupy your gaming time.

Unfortunately the WII dose lack a good range of solid "normal" games.

And that's the problem "good enough" is not worth my time or money WII,PS3 easybreak oven they all are filled with consumer wank like movies are filled with IE games poorly developed and left unfinished so they can rush out the next title..

Smells like EA, makes me want to cry... Their games are just so sad and disgusting it's evil. Like, holy crap. God Father II? WTF! How could you sell that unfinished garbage for $60? I almost bought that too, cause I liked the first God Father game and it was good. But this just let me down. Only EA game I own is Rock Band but the people at Harmonix are good people.
