Consoles Release to Bad News - Wii

So, Nintendo has stepped up and finally announced details on the Wii. $250 buys you the system with one Wii remote, one nunchuck attachment, and some cheesy sports game. They plan on shipping 4 million world wide by end year. For more read from the professionals.

Here's my take. Never in my history of memory, do I recall a console shipping with only one controller. Your not buying the Wii, your buying the Wi. For an extra $40 you can get the other i. Geez, I thought Nintendo was all about player interaction and family orientation. One remote = solo gameplay. Even the Atari 2600 shipped with two controllers.

On top of all this, games will be about $50. $50 Duck Hunt, whoohoo.
