Well the normal price for Wii here is $200, so it seems Nintendo is dropping it to $150 after getting obliterated by Xbox sales last month? About time. Hell I thought the Wii was gonna LAUNCH at $150 4 years ago, as did Matt C. & many others. Can't believe its taken this long.

That store is trying to get rid of the old Wii's, the normal Wii with motion plus and Wii Sports Resort is still $200.

"If consumers are willing to embrace new technology then for sure we’ll see a new batch of consoles," Lavigne continued, "but we’re more likely to see that in the form of peripherals like kinect on Xbox 360 and move on PS3 rather in a whole new console. We’ll probably see Nintendo have the first real new console because they’ve really lasted a long time on refurbished Gamecubes with the Wii." Ubi Dev

Well, he's right. I agree with him. Its just truth.

Doh. That's why it's called legacy.

I'm surprised they have any "legacy" left. Consoles usually fly out of Target. Other than at PS3 launch when they had a mountain of PS3 just sitting there.

Well, he's right. .

Shut up before you breach the blissful peace we've had recently.

Edit your post quick!

Don't worry, I'm just stating my opinion of his opinion while feeling extremely blissful.

That feeling is Vader stroking you off.

Word has it that Satoshi Kon passed way - the director of films such as Perfect Blue and Paprika.

Sucks to hear.

Edge and Ubi guy is right, its the truth. Nothing to be ashamed of, that move was pure genius and it worked.

It's not the truth, it's hyperbole. Different cpu and gpu models and core speeds, different amount of ram, different power consumption and heat emission, different hardware, firmware and software features, different controllers, and pretty much different everything aside from the basic architecture and some backward compatibility based features (GC ports etc). Just because it wasn't a huge leap in power doesn't mean it's truthful to call it something it's not, ie, a GameCube, or 2 GameCubes taped together, or whatever you feel like. That's just retarded. People don't call the intel i7 range an overclocked Core 2 Duo or two Core 2 Duos taped together... If you do, stop. What they're saying also has little to do with when Nintendo will want to launch a new system so relating them is also dumb. You might want to check the two systems' known specifications instead of proclaim hyperbole and speculation as facts.

Just came through in a mass-email to UK press.
