MS tries to rain on PS3 parade with $200 Wii forecast
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft has claimed Nintendo's Wii console will cost $200 when its
| ships. Well, sort of. In a dig at Sony, Microsoft VP Peter Moore
| said consumers will be able to buy an Xbox 360 and a Wii for the
| price of a $599 PlayStation 3, according to Reuters.
|
| Since an Xbox 360 costs around $399, that leaves just $200 for the
| Nintendo machine. Nintendo has said in the past that the Wii won't
| sport the very latest technology - it's pitching the product at much
| at less-demanding casual gamers as hardcore players - so it's
| entirely possible the company will pitch the price low.
