[QUOTE="Hir0_N"][QUOTE="Teufelhuhn"][QUOTE="Homesrfan"][QUOTE="Teufelhuhn"][QUOTE="Homesrfan"]Wii's graphics are comparible to GC's for a reason... to make it cheaper, thus making it an easier buy for casuals.
If Wii had the remote but next gen graphics and it was $600... it would not be winning.

Actually I'd probably say it has GameCube hardware because Nintendo wanted to make it profitable. Even if they'd wanted to keep it at $250, they could have put in a better GPU and some more memory and taken a loss just like MS and Sony.
Nintendo will never take a loss on a console.
Microsoft and Sony are huge corparations with many divisions. Nintendo is just gaming. They have to make a profit on it... it's their only choice.
Nintendo is also raking in money faster then they can count from just Pokemon alone, I'm sure they can afford to take a hit for the first 12 months or so. I mean neither of us could prove it since we don't actually know how much money they have, but when I look at the sales charts I'd be skeptical as to why they would "need" to make a profit on the console itself.Â
Nintendo didnt know if the Wii was going to fail or not. So they didnt take any risk.
If you ask me, they took a HUGE risk...
that didnt get out right. I mean yes they took a huge risk. but if the wii would have failed at least they would gain a little money.
