The hardware is weaker than the XBOX which can be found now for $100 and sold at $250 7-8years ago. But since people keep buying it they're not going to drop the price.

It's $6 on every Wii, and I'm pretty sure that the profit includes distribution costs, so it probably costs a bit less than $244. yeah, but if I remeber correctly the source for that was ninty itself

completely untrue, the wii is more powerful than the original xbox, ill go find some links to show you the hardware specs if you like
EDIT: i had a quick squize at the hardware specs for both, they are generally pretty even in hardware power except wii has more ram and can display upto 500 mil polys a sec compared to exbox that could only display 112mil

And why the heck hasn't there been a price drop yet. Is it because old ladies and soccer moms are buying it to keep in shape.-Ninja_Dog-
Its funny how much fanboy bias can shape everyones opinion. Most Wii's I've personally sold have been to people in my age group. with maybe 10% being to older people and maybe 33% being to women.
