Blimey, let's hope that's true!
They would've seriously got off on the wrong foot if they even thought of a £200 launch price in the west, especially when you can buy a tard-pack 360 for just slightly more. -

Registered 19 years agoIt's a target price, it's what they want to sell it at but if the parts end up costing a bit more than expected then don't be surprised if the Wii costs a little more.
Anywho, £120 is a damn fine starting point. -

The best bit is that just about every published English story doing the rounds about this 'price announcement' will be a Google translation job too.
So yes - make it all up! Everyone else does!
£120 UK October launch price!
6000000 free games with every Wii!

With dodgy translation, anything is possible!
I think GI got their news off the wires though - not Famitsu. -
