Wii Price - How low will it go?

Nintendo announced today they are slashing the price of the Wii to $199. Sales of the Wii this August compared to sales of the Wii in August of last year are down almost 40%. Does this really come as a surprise to people?

The Wii has been out since 2006. How many years is Nintendo going to promote a failing system? Perhaps until they re-think how a gaming system is supposed to function and come out with a new console.

Will this new price drop make hoards of new people buy the Wii? Not likely. As sales of other systems with blue-ray players, HD, and real graphics continue to soar, the Wii will probably end up being great for 12 year olds, 60 year olds in physical therapy, and novelty collectors.

• Wiimote batteries – This will suck your money whenever you run out of batteries. You can solve this by buying a recharger.
• Electricity – The Wii never turns off. Instead, it is in standby mode all the time when it is not on. This will use electricity which may require money wasted.
• Gasoline – You will waste more gasoline to get batteries and games which will be more expensive than the retail price.
• Injuries – If you get hurt from playing the Wii, you may get injuries which will make it more expensive.

Below I will tell you the real price for the Wii

$250 – Wii
$100 – Batteries
$050 – Electricity
$200 – Gasoline
$600 – Grand Total
$050 – To cure injuries from the Wii
$650 – Grand Total if you got injuries fom the Wii

The Wii is very expensive itself.

De Blob squirting everywhere

Amazon claims “Easter Savings” but some are speculating why 46 Wii Games have been slashed to prices below $30. Maybe the Wii is not doing so hot? Maybe people are starting to realize the Wii sucks and stopped buying games. This could be a last chance effort by the companies to slash prices and sell as many Wii games as possible now, before everyone finds out the Nintendo Wii sucks.

Some of the Wii games that have been discounted are:
Monster Jam – Ohhh, run over other cars and smash them
De Blob – Splatter blood looking feces all over the screen
Spider Man 3 – This game sucks so bad they slashed the price to $11
Kung Fu Panda – Seriously? A Ninja Panda… you have got to be kidding

It will be interesting to see if these games are truely on sale for Easter, or if Amazon is trying to liquidate all Wii products before Nintendo goes out of business or bankrupt do to how bad the Wii sucks.

Wii = rehabilitation

$10,000,000. The number of dollars sold by the Wii. Impressive yes, but what does it prove? People spending 10 million dollars on the Wii confirms that the general population is retarded… as if the last few elections didn’t show this already. People would rather buy a cheap 200$ POS system that doesn’t even support high definition, than spend a little more and get a quality system like the Playstation 3 or XBOX 360. 55% of all game system purchases were for the Wii, thus proving only 45% of the country is sane.
