Wii to be Cheap??

The following was a story from codenamerevolution. Here is what they had to say:

A new report from Nikko Citigroup in Japan reveals that the Wii will retail for $170 USD (19,800 Yen) which goes against current rumoured figures of $229.

DS Lite was released in Japan at around $149 USD (16,800 Yen) while in North America it was released at a lower price of $129 USD. It is slightly possible that if this report is proven true we could get the Wii at around $149 in North America. DS Lite was originally ‘rumoured’ to be priced at around $199 in the United States. We could be in for another surprise, but before that we’ll have to wait till Leipzig or at least September to finally get some info.

My Thoughts:
In every way possible I truly hope that this will be true. In my opinion, it may be the nail in the coffin for Nintendo’s competitors. Having a “new generation” Nintendo system at that attractive price plan will bode well for the big N. I still think the system will cost around $229.99, but I also thought that they would charge more for the DS. We will keep you updated and thanks for stopping by.
