All major retailers drop Wii to $169.99, Wii 2 is imminent

[Wreck]

All major US retailers have now dropped the Wii to just $169.99. The likes of GameStop, Best Buy, Amazon and Target have dropped the Wii down to the respective price. However, speculation suggests that Nintendo may sanction a new ultra low price of just $150. Eitherway, one thing is certain... the Wii 2 is imminent as the flurry of rumors have indicated recently.

Now is when I feel like an idiot for getting the Wii on release day.

Nintendo sucks ass these days. They ruined their company by making the Wii and the nds 3d. They used to be my favorite up to the gamecube. Then I started with ps2. Eventually bought the Xbox 360. I despise Nintendo now.

I think you'll like the "new" nintendo when they release "Project Cafe" (Wii 2)

Ive seen a couple reviews and pictures. I still don't care for it. My sister/parents have a Wii and I hate it. Xbox 360 Kinect ftw! Lol

They did not ruin their company with the wii. Not even close to ruin it.

The Wii has been one of the best selling "Next Generation Console", Nintendo is still making a profit off of it. A very good profit.

The 3DS is another step into the new world of gaming. It is one of a kind at this time.

Nintendo has helped their company more than just about any other consoles they have.


The gamecube sold 21.74 Million worldwide in its lifetime.
The Wii sold 84.64 Million Worldwide so far.

I have a Wii... Love it... Can't wait for 2 =D

I would get a Wii but I probably would never play it.

I will always and forever be a PS3 fag.

I personally own a Wii and believe that it is a great family console.
I think the Wii 2 should be interesting, however, not sure if I will purchase it.

Time to buy myself one of these and run gamers through a HDD (; btw Nintendo seems to starts focusing on graphics now judging by the specs of the "Wii 2".

This design for the Wii 2 looks amazing! So futuristic looking, in my opinion.

If that is the actual thing, I'll be really surprised.

I wouldn't. Nintendo has a way of doing weird shit.

I'd quite like to see the back of it then.

That picture is from the link that he linked in the OP.

If the Wii2 still has a remote it will be a failure.

The graphics are going to be up to par with the PS3. The controllers have their own screens on them that are touch screens.

Wii2, the graphics probably won't even be up to par with Xbox. They only know how to work with bobble head figures...

some more specific information about the Wii 2′s innards have come to light. It will apparently run on a PS3-shaming AMD’s R700 GPU which IGN’s tipster says should sail right past Sony’s NVIDIA 7800GTX-based setup. It should also do 1080p and maybe even stereoscopic 3D standing up and there’s also a repeat of the IBM PowerPC three-core processor business.

What were you saying?
