Does core come with a wireless controller and Wi-Fi? linkhero1

I'm not sure why Nintendo would lower the price when it's still selling like crazy. With your canny business acumen, however, you may be able to explain it to us.Tristam22

Last time I checked, Wii outsold XBox 360 worldwide, whether it's November, December, or January. Of course being a hardcore lemming, the person will try to only look at Nov/Dec sales in the US, ignore Japan and Europe, then the person will try to tell you how Wii only outsold XBox 360 by a "little bit" in January, when worldwide sales of XBox 360 in Jan 2007 is something like 0.5 million, and Wii being 1.2 million, hey, but more than half million difference in one month is just barely behind, right?

According to NPD: XBox 360 sold around 4.7 million in US, ended January 2007, so that's more than 14 months.

According to NPD: Wii sold around 1.6 million in the US, ended January 2007, that's less than 3 months.

In less than 3 months, Wii sold about 1/3 of what XBox 360 sold in the US for 14 months, consider that US is XBox 360's own turf, where it has the strongest sales, Wii is still gaining up on it pretty fast.

In Japan, Wii is around 1.7 million with XBox 360 around 0.36 million or something. But I suspect that a few people will probably respond with "Japan sales doesn't matter".

Why anybody would spend more then a 100 dollars on the wii is beyond me, and yes iv'e played it and even like it, it's just common sense to me, there's just not enough there to justify more thne a 100 bucks, period.CHROMEFLAMIN
