According to a financial report from Tokyo-based Nikko Citigroup, Nintendo’s upcoming new-gen console, Wii, will launch in Japan with a price point of 19,800 yen, which converts to approximately $170.

Readers should keep in mind this is nothing more than a financial forecast, and Nintendo has not made any official announcements regarding the console’s price. The current official word from the Big N on Wii’s price is the console will sell for no more than 25,000 yen or $250 in North America.

Remeber when it used to only cost $100 for a brand new system? And remember when each game only cost $20? But $170 works for me.

well I have been hearing $250 and $170. So I woul be really happy and 99% on board with the wii if it was 170 and about 90% if was only $200 (unless the 360 sees a $100 price drop. But if the wii retails at $250 I would probably just buy a 360. Even though both of them will be worth having, I just cant fork over for both like alot of you guys are going to.
