... just release a nice Mario Galaxy 1/2 & Wii bundle! Then I'll consider buying it.

Double Toasted5695d ago

The Wii is over priced anyway. Its naive to pay Nintendo anything over $150 for just the console, especially when the 360 is the same price as Wii right now.

Longrod_Von_Hugendon5694d ago

That's never a good sign.

Wonder what the reasons could be.

Too pricey for a gimmick. All my friends who own a Wii don't really play it anymore. Overpriced paperweight. Anyways it seems like everybody has one too.

EYEamNUMBER15695d ago

so what's that like 12 dollars? not that big a deal

Muletroid5694d ago

funny thing is seeing the comments here ive realized no one actually even reads these articles they just post from seeing the headline

this isn't even an actual price cut .___.

jneul5694d ago

but the PS Move and Kinect are now the gods of motion control gaming. the Wii had a nice long run, but as we all know, the newer technology gets the more people are drawn to it. and its the Wii's time now to say goodbye. No matter how much they drop their prices, if customer's are really looking for low prices and family games, then theyll probably rather turn to the more MODERN and mysteriously intriguing Xbox Kinect.

anyone else above a low budget family gamer will go with the PS Move. simple as that.

The Gods of motion gaming? A few million and, whats predicted to sell a few million compared to god knows how many million Wiis are out there now.

I'm still enjoying the irony, a few years ago when the Wii was the only option, everyone here seemed to hate the prospect of motion gaming, now it's all about whos is better because they're awesome (but only the one on your platform of choice of course)!!!!

EYEamNUMBER15695d ago (Edited 5695d ago )

i can tell you right now people will still keep buying wiis and the wii will still keep selling

you seem to be under the impression that something NEW = better sales that's never really the case at all

as for move and kinect being the new gods of motion i actually do laugh at your comment only because as things are now there's really nothing to back that up at the moment

also as for this article this isn't even a pricedrop

xg-ei8ht5695d ago

I don't agree with either comment tbh.

But not everyone bought a WII for motion control, there's a character, damm i cannot remmember his name, he's slightly fat, does plumbing on the side while looking for a princess.

Oh of course it's mario.

There are alot of games draw people to ninty, and some of them are good.

I don't know how many either SONY will SELL or MS with KINECT.

But nintendo's Wii has been dropping it's sales regardless.

Optical_Matrix5695d ago

Lol cool I guess. Looking forward to Donkey Kong Returns this holiday :]

btk5695d ago

They can afford to. The hardware must be very cheap to manufacture by now.
Little more drop and Kinect without console will be more expensive that a Wii.

A group of surgeons made headlines after they managed to perform an endoscopic procedure on a pig located in Hong Kong by using PlayStation controllers. It involved the use of a PS5 DualSense controller as well as a PlayStation Move controller.

jznrpg587d ago

There is at least a few good jokes that could come from that title

Cacabunga586d ago

Yet another powerful device Sony gave up supporting. KZ3 move was one of the best motion controller implementation ever

just_looken586d ago

Right the ps move was awesome i have the gun thing from killzone still.

Relientk77587d ago

That's really cool. It's crazy something like that is possible with gaming controllers 1000's of miles away.

Lexreborn2587d ago

Guess that submarine should’ve used move controllers instead of logitech
