Wii price officially released

Nintendo officially announced today that the price tag on their next-gen bundle of love, the Wii (ii pronounced Revolution in English, the W being silent) will sit at a nice and comfortable $250, undercutting the price points of both Microsoft ($399) and Sony ($599).

This is a great move by Nintendo. They will be providing the every-day-man's next-gen console thanks to not eating an entire pay check. Despite the fact that the system itself isn't as powerful as the other 2, it is providing a varied level of gameplay (thanks to the new controller) which makes it feel different and new which should also help bolster sales, whereas the PS3 and XBOX360 are simply pushing better graphics (normal mapping oo ah's) and the like.
