Which console is the most overpriced

Yea wii is overpirced for sure not even next gen HD graphics and doesnt offer DVD support

To give 250euros for an old , around 80euros overall not say less (with PC wise technology comparison), hardware and to give 50-60euros for games that they dont even need alot of money to be made , not even meet the 2009 standards.( most of ) ... Wii is the most overpriced of all both hardware and software. IMHO

the wii is basicly as overpriced as the ps2 was back then

i guess thats the curse of the best selling console,

crappy hardware = best selling ;)

Considering the quaility of hardware in the wii, your wallet has gotten seriously raped if you bought it

Wii, PS3 is expensive but it's price is completely justified.

I agree, I think the Wii is.

As far as cost of production goes, the Wii is certainly overpriced, but they still fly off shelves, so I'm all for Nintendo raking in as much cash as possible this gen to ensure plenty for the budget next gen;)

Economically speaking, the PS3 is overpriced, even though it's a really good value with the blu-ray and dvd upscaling.. $400 is just too much.

I don't think any of the consoles are overpriced, but the PS3 is expensive.

The Wii is probably the most over priced of the three but the PS3 by far gives the least value.

PS3 for me. $400 for a system with 1 game that interests me atm. Defently not worth the price. Got a stand-a-lone blu-ray player so don't need one for that. No backwards compatibility (new models). So I think I'll pass.

...? I said you acted like it. there are some games you have the option to not use the motion plus , butyou can use anormal controler. just like Natal. Natal is going to have games that can be used with a controler, but it will also have games that requre it. If it didn't, what would be the point in selling it?

Why are you still arguing this, you have no idea what you are talking about. Comparing Natal to a controller is like comparing Wii Fit to a controller.

Natal you can play actual games with.You can do avariety of games with Natal.A balance bored you can't. so Natal is closer to a controler. The only real game, i believe that uses the wii balance board is Super Monkey Ball. Which is a series that was probably born for the the balance bored.

It is hard to explain to you how much I doubt that (Natal playing actual games). Lets just say I really really really doubt that. The Natal has the same problems as the i-touch, that it has no buttons so it can't do complex and percise controls at the same time. In addition people would tire from having to do all of those gestures.

Remember kids, there is a difference between expensive and overpriced.

-For example, x console has alot of fuetures that people find usefull for gaming and multimedia alike, but it is however very expensive, but people find it worth the money.

-But for example x console, doesn't offer alot and charges alot for it, while you could get the same experience for a much cheaper price, if not superior.

Now, my vote goes to the Wii, it gives me PS2 hardware really, to me it's a white ps2 with motion controls. and should be a 100 bucks cheaper.

I see alot of people here making hay over the difference between "overpriced" and "expensive." This usually comes with the objective of pointing out that while the PS3 is expensive (true), the features it packs actually provides good value and is therefore not "overpriced." This implies that something is only overpriced if it costs more than it's features warrant.... but is this actually true?

A quick scan on google for the def. of "overpriced" brings some surprising results. The definition here doesn't mention anything about value or the like, merely that something is "overpriced"when it costs too much, which leaves it up to the consumer to decide what "too much" is.... and from what I can see, the majority of gamers have decided that this fits the PS3. Likewise, the Websters online def. here seems to echo this, listing "overpriced" as simply priced too high, another subjective decision left to the consumer as to how high is too high. We find the same problem here also, and.... well, you get the point.

So while I thank the TC for pointing it out to the "kids" that expensive =/= overpriced, I would suggest that he also bone up on the def. himself. The PS3 might not in fact be overpriced to him, but it clearly is to others, and in fact most.
