I got pictures of Wii shit!

[Mezmerize19]

Looks like peoples in the retail industry are getting pretty stoked about the Wiis

about to make it into their respective stores. We got our hands on the

CompUSA hardware / software markup sheet for Nintendo’s new console, as

well as some spy pics of some Target Wii endcaps and the variety of

accessories those will be

stocking, as well. No, we’re not that hard up for stuff on the console,

but we do think that $12.50 is a pretty weak margin on the console,

while, as expected, games, and accessories have a much fatter profit

for retailers. Anyway, check it out (price on the left is, of course,

retail; price on the right is cost):

WII CONSOLE - 249.99 / 237.50

WII REMOTE CONTROLL - 39.99 / 32.00

WII POINTS CARD - 24.99 / 17.00

WII CLASSIC CONTROLLER - 19.99 / 14.50

WII NUNCHUK CONTROLLER - 19.99 / 14.50

WII GPAK ORGANIZER&TRAVEL - 29.99 / 18.95

WII RAYMAN RAVING RABIDS - 49.99 / 41.2

WII THE LEGEND OF ZELDA:TW - 49.99 / 40.00

WII RED STEEL REVOLUTION - 49.99 / 41.22

More pics after the break!

[AChoquette]

what is it

 

[Sk3bUm]

um.... sweet?

 

[CZA]

thats what i was thinking

 

[Ryno]

When does it ship again?

 

[Ryno]

Nintendo's new system.

Sony has the ps3

Microsoft have the xbox360

Nintendo has the Wii

Its built on a different idea though. Not about graphics and computing power like the other two are.

 

[JazzyJ]

my brother wants that so bad

 

[720laxskier]

yay. money to spend on gayness!!

 

[Mezmerize19]

Yo I just realized what thread I put this in so can someone move it please?

 

[chapz]

damn, which of the 3 systems should i get???

 

[TMswitch06]

ps3 if u gots the dough

 

[gnustreetfool]

video games are a waste of time go outside

 

[DYFI]

Im getting the wii as soon as it comes out. Its gonna be soo sick.

 

[jimmychung]

wii looks like it's going to be wicked fun, i'm so psyched

 

[ECfreeski3]

if its not about graphics and shit what is it about??

 

[BurgRider]

whats so cool about it?

 

[Jake...]

we got our demo model yesterday at my electronics dept.. we set it up behind the counter, SO SICK.. words cannot begin to describe.

 

[Lé.Skiing]

i suggest you get all 12

 

[aoe]

wow, those margins are razor thin. Never realized they were that tight. I wouldn't get into an industry with anything less then keystone

 

[Itsbackfliptime]

uh, the games.

 

[Mod]

I was thinking about getting one, then I got an Xbox360. I like the controller idea though, games should be sick.

 

[ECfreeski3]

come on elaborate a bit more. why would someone buy it instead of a ps3 is my question

 

[Lé.Skiing]

watch a trailer or teaser or whatever for it, you'll know right away why you should get it

 

[Mod]

Because PS3's are 600 and wii's are only 250? lol.

 

[SIX]

I'll be getting the wii for sure!

 

[Itsbackfliptime]

A game can have the best graphics ever and still be boring as hell. The wii is focusing on gameplay over graphics. That and the fact its relatively inexpensive is why I plan on getting one.

 

[Mod]

Yeah, Zelda is going to be SICK on the Wii, but the Xbox has Halo 3 and Xbox live so.. yeah =p.

 

[skicraze123]

whats the point of this who cares about nintendo
