Amerika heeft vandaag zijn Wii prijs en releasedatum eindelijk gekregen. De console wordt duurder dan we allemaal verwacht hadden. 250 dollar zal er op 19 november namelijk neergelegd moeten worden voor de console. Dit meldt de Seattle Post-Intelligencer. President Reggie Fils-Aime van Nintendo zou dit via een telefoongesprek door geseind hebben. Verder zou Nintendo in totaal 4 miljoen units wereldwijd willen verschepen met daarbij 25 launch titels.
Our goal is to bring gaming back to the masses. You see that in our pricing, you see that in the number of units we plan to make available this year and you see that in how we are positioning the Wii to appeal to every member of the household, including but not limited to the hard-core gamer. We are including all of these capabilities as part of our overall strategy to expand the gaming market. Broadening the market is important because it will breathe new life into this business. Otherwise, this industry is moving down a path of being more and more limited to the hard-core gamer.
