How the Wii might be priced

The below information comes from an email sent via our tips form. The tipster makes an unsubstantiated claim that Nintendo's Wii will be priced as follows:

The Wii will be free with the purchase of:
- Four Wii Games
- Three Wii Games and a Controller (w/ nunchuck attachment)
- Bundle will sell for about $199.

I'm pretty sure the system will include a nunchuck attachment, but alas, I have no professional training of console pricing and bundles. If Ninty's next-gen console is as different as they say it is and given its off-the-wall name, maybe an unconventional purchase option will follow.

No offense but that is the biggest load of bs I have ever heard. If the Wii is going to be remotely more powerful than the GameCube it's going to have a higher price point. Nintendo already stated that they won't sell a system for higher than $500 so I will will have to guess that it will cost $300 which is less than both the other consoles.

hmm highley unlikely...

But would be an interesting strategy....

id guess 250-300

Id say about $300, $50 markup price from the gamecubes first realease

199 USD looks like the most likely price.
