Sorry - the general perception is that the Wii is same great bargain and the 360 and Ps3 are expensive pieces of kit. Also the Wii is "regarded" as having less grunt behind it but innovating due to the controller etc etc - ie - not processing power = cheaper unit = everyone happy including all parents = nintendo world domination.
Same with the Xbox360 and PS3.... what was your point again? :-/
The only problem with all of this is that - the Wii isnt actually that cheap - even though its being paraded as such. -

Uh, yeah it is.
Do you want it for free or something?
Xbox 360, 2 wireless controllers, headset and PGR3 = £299
Wii , One controller, red steel and zelda = £259.
Wii, one controller, another extra controller, red steel and zelda = £299.

its close enough for it not to be a major difference between the two as is being touted. Run with it. -

Registered 17 years agoNo your talking shite because thats the Wii's release price so technically it should be compared aginst the 360's release price.
Also regardless of graphical output the Wii mote incorporates motion sensing technology whi accounts for the increase in price.
So all in all this thread smokes huge monkey banana pole. -

No - use your brain to see that the difference in price for what you get is negligible. Therefore this "perception" of the value of the Wii is open to debate and question. -

No - it's for the Premium Pack PGR2 bundle - and he even got that wrong cos Play.com are doing it for £289
The price your quoting for the 360 seems to be for a core pack console which is just pointless..gif)

Was that including then 2 controllers 2 nunchucks and possibly 2 old-school controllers for BC?
Will the Wii have some kind of headset? -

You make good points at the start. Then fade away.
However, dont tell me that one of the perceptions of the Wii is that its a very cheap machine. I am not saying its not going to be technically great etc - i am saying "its not cheap but a lot of the marketing out there is all about how cheap it is".
Sheesh. -

Well Youthist? Are you gonna go back and do your sums properly, or just sit here insulting me and others when we point out how flawed your figures are for this comparison?
