I certainly hope this hasn't been posted on TMK already. I haven't seen anything about it, though.

So the maximum price in U.S. dollars will probably be $225. Sounds like a pretty good deal. :)

NINTENDO NEWS: NINTENDO ANNOUNCES WII INFORMATION, WORLDWIDE SHIPMENTS

May 25, 2006

Following its overwhelming debut at E3 2006, Nintendo today announced the current fiscal year unit shipment forecast for its new home game system, Wii™. Nintendo also confirmed that the price of the Wii system, which incorporates unique freehand control, will not exceed $250 in America, or ¥25,000 in Japan. The company plans to ship 6 million systems to retailers around the world between its launch in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the end of its fiscal year on March 31, 2007.

The projections are part of a full-year financial forecast that sees growth of 18 percent in sales globally, based on anticipated continuing strong demand for the Nintendo DS™ portable game system, as well as a successful launch for Wii.

The company also said it expects to sell 17 million Wii games in the period. Exact launch dates, identification of the launch library of titles and details on the unique Virtual Console aspect of Wii will be announced soon.

I think it going to be $199.99 MSRP and $199.97 at Walmart because every past Nintendo console has launched and $200. So why stop tradition?

Well, the Wii stops tradition in pretty much every aspect of being a game console.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

The Grammar Princess is right.

Also, how can the website be so sure it's going to sell at $225? What if it's $220?
(But I still think it's going to be $250)
