Supply and Demand... the thing is selling like crazy, seems people will still buy it and retailers can make a bigger profit.

Well there's no reason it should've been over $150 USD in the first place aside from pure profiteering from this motion control fad.

The launch price was 279.99. It went up when the dollar dropped. Retailers put up the price to prevent them from losing money. Now that the dollar is high, expect the price to go down.

The PS3 went up to 699.99 from 659.99 as well.

The same with the PS3. 805$ for a damn PS3 with the taxes included... do you feel better? You can always get a Wii on ebay that will cost you more than the actual price point due to the huge demands... or get to USA and buy one and get back to your town if you live near the lines.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not. :(

In case you are, thats what I heard about Pokemon 6 years ago, and look at it now... one of the top selling games.
