Wii for $170?
Last week, Nikko Citigroup of Tokyo said that the Wii would retail in Japan for what is $170 stateside. With all the guessing at what the price will be, I didn't think much of this story when I saw it, therefore, it was not posted. Now, however, David Gardner, executive VP and COO of EA's worldwide studios, said, "I've heard in Japan that the price is about $170, but I don't know if the price has been set in Europe yet." When a pretty big guy at EA comments on the price of the Wii I pay attention. Gardner also said, "Nintendo has come up with a very clever strategy. They've made a choice which is great for the consumer. Now we're going to have a choice whereby consumers can buy a Wii plus one other console." Sounds like he's trying to say, "Xbox Wii-60 might be cheaper than a PS3!!" So I helped him out.
If the price in Japan equals about $170 that would be amazing. I can't see the price actually being $170 here though because that's a pretty random number when it comes to price. Maybe it will sell for $179.99, but it will most likely be around $199.99. Just remember that out DS lite is cheaper than theirs, so if the Wii is a little more expensive here, that's alright with me.
