The prices are sort of retarded when you take into account that Nintendo actually makes money off the Wii out of the box, and Sony loses a crapload on every PS3 sold, quite shocking really.The Wii costs $250, including one game, half of what the cheaper PlayStation 3 model costs. The most common PlayStation 3 model costs $600, with no included game.
I mean, I know that the Wii is basically a re-built Gamecube in terms of technology, and the PS3 has subatomicsupershaders, but damn.
