Nintendo has revealed its next-generation console, the Wii, will retail in the US for $250 or less, and no more than ¥25,000 ($220/£119/€174) in Japan. It also expects to have shipped more than 6m of the machines by March 2007, the company said today.

very affordable

This could be a great thing. With the the premium PS3 all the way up at 600, and the 360 staying at 300-400, the Wii could do some serious damage with the lower price.

Though im still waiting. I gotta see if this controller catches on the way the DS did.

No mention of pricing in europe? Im guessing between 200€ and 250€ which is more than acceptible considering the competition.

At this price I might even pick one up. I havent owned a Nintendo System since the SNES. Once Playstation came out I forgot all about Nintendo the Wii does look like its gonna be awesome though I cant wait.

Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness; chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself. - Timothy Leary

To me price means nothing. Its all about the games. You can have the best console in the world with the latest technology for $100 bucks but if there are no quality titles its useless. Hopefully Nintendo will get Capcom and Konami to crank out some games for the Wii.

lol; I went to "Game Mania" today, that's Belgium's biggest games distributor... And you're already able to pre-order a Wii, but they have no idea of the price and no idea of the releasedate . They said more info TBC soon; all I had to do is pay €15 in advance.

I find this rather odd; I'll wait for some more info on Wii before I do that

Keep in mind that it says "$250 OR LESS" guys...it could be even cheaper.
