Is the Wii over priced now?

With the Ps3 and Xbox 360 both being at a $300 price range. Is the Wii a tad bit to much at the $250 price range.?IMOyes and no(sure it may have lower tech aspects to the other systems but the 250 is kind of worth it). What does everyone else think?

In my opinion, yes, both the PS3 and the 360 are better gaming hardware, and they are around the price point of the wii, which uses last gen tech, lets face it. But as long as Nintendo can get away with selling it at that price, i dont see things changing anytime soon.

its always been expensive. Wherent they profiting 100$ for every console on launch?

No, I don't see it as expensive now. I just see the other systems as cheap.

The Wii could probably use a price cut, based on Japanese sales at least.

Nintendo's usually slow when it comes to price cuts though; They still charge full price for launch games...

Expensive? No, it's selling fine.

Overpriced? Yeah, but it was overpriced at launch, and it sold just fine.

Nintendo's doing wonderful, there is no need for them to worry about matching the $200 360, the Wii has been outselling the 360 after it's price drop.

if it wasn't before, then there's no way it is now

sony and M$ dropped there prices to stay in the competition....nintendo has already ran far, far away with it

they'll drop the price once M$ and sony get about 2/3's the sells they have...so another year and half probably

$200 for a 360. $250 for a Wii. And $300 for a PS3.

Its still not the most expensive... but given all the other features the two other consoles offer for the price, it is way overpriced by comparison.

its more expensive than the ps3, but way cheaper the 360. because think aobut it, its 200 for xbox 360 plus 50 dollars a year live, where psn, and nintendo wifi are free and psn destorys live. 100 dollars for wifi, ps3 and the Wii have wifi built in, and 100 dollars for hdd, ps3 has one built in, and the Wii u can use SD cards which are extremmly cheap. S0 the 360 is $450 dollars compared to the Wi's 250 and the ps3 $300

Yes it's way overpriced.

Both 360 and PS3 offer more in one package, for just $50 more. Most consumers who buy the Wii, actually believe it is very powerful than PS3 or 360, on behalf of the Wiimote control scheme. When they see the Wii, they go, "Oh honey, that Nintendo thingy has a fully automatic powerful wireless controller, the others don't seem to have one and it looks very compact and very slim, I can put it in my Gucci Purse, my girlfriends will love it. Could you buy one, honey?" :lol:

That's just an example why it sells. If it's any indication, my 58 year-old aunt had my uncle buy her a Wii for Wii-fit. She also actually believes the Wiimote was a universal remote, a convenience for her to use one remote to control the TV, Cable, etc. :lol:

If there is a 200$ 360 and a 299$ PS3, then yes the Wii is over priced.clubsammich91

the wii can't be overpriced if it was never overprice to being with

Not expensive, just overpriced which I think it has been forever.

It is overprice as a proud Nintendo fan i will not buy a Wii for it current price i will stick will my DS and psp for the time been.

Expensive and overpriced mean two different things.

When something is expensive, that means it costs a lot of money; sometimes more than one is usually willing to spend.

When something is overpriced, that means that something costs much more than it's worth; not enough bang for one's buck.

Whether or not something is expensive and/or overpriced is up to the consumer. What may be considered expensive to some may be cheap for others. What may be considered to be overpriced to some may be a great value for others.

I consider the Wii to be expensive, but not overpriced.

You can get last gen consoles with even better hardware at 99$, do you get the point?

hell yeah. do you think nintendo will ever lower the price, hell no

it is kinda expensivive, but overpriced?considering all it has to offer, not really

with sony's recent price cuts, i do think the wii is overpriced. i would buy one quick if it was $149.99

Yes its overpriced in some places.. I got shops in my area selling it for £150 which aint bad... Why should Nintendo drop the price? when it still sells so well.

hell yes. It should of been in the $150 price range by now. But nintendo thinks that the wii is somehow viable to compete against the ps3 and 360 in terms of overall value.
