"I laugh when people say the Wii is the cheapest console and then start buying extra Wiimotes and Nunchuks. That starts getting into PS3 price territory. It's an interesting observation about consumer practices. I guarentee that if Nintendo sold the Wii with an extra Wiimote and Nunchuk for $310 they would move a lot less at retail."

"...but $460 to get a game is steep (he's refering to the ps3). An Xbox 360 exclusive can be had for a $260 point-of-entry. The Wii comes in around $300, depending on the price of the game."

wtf is this guy talking about?

u know, occationally i watch g4 just because its there and i'm innately drawn towards it becasue i'm a gamer. but comments like this snap me back into reality and remind me to never take this comapny seriously.

ill start by looking back at the first quote and then start buying Wiimotes and nunchucks which then start moving into ps3 territory. the amount of controllers and attachments sold soly depends on the consumer. i myself only have two sets of wiimote and nun chuck combinations (meaning that i only bought one more set). and the only games that i would have a lan party with are brawl and mk wii which make use of the gamecube controllers as well. again, it is not required to buy 3 extra sets just to playthe vast majorityof the games in the wii's library. the only games that makes a difference are the ones that make use of the wiifit board. funny how he failed to mention that blue-tooth isnt included in the box just as headsets are for the 360. and the dual shock controller came out a while after the ps3's launch.

"Also, just so you don't think this is all PS3 bashing" yeah, u sure set urself up for this one.

secondly, in his last quote he attempts to break down the price differences between consoles. he states that a 360 exclusive would cost 260 point of entry. false. first off, idk where the hell he got that number from, secondly the 360 arcade might be the cheapest system on the market, but its the equivilent of buying a car w/o the engine. YOU NEED A HARDRIVE IN ORDER TO GET THE FULL EXPERIENCE. PERIOD. many games wont even go online w/o the inclusion of the hardrive. a 360 with the hardive 60 gigcost 299.99 retail. more expencive than the wii. then towards the end of his post, he claims that the wii costs 300 depending on the price of the game. so he marks the cheapest retail price of the 360 failing to mention the heavily important purchase of the hardrive, then he points out the average price wii consumers will spend along with buying a wii. double standard.
