    I thought their startegy was to go under $200 and position themselves as people's "second" console???

    Doesnt seem that way now. BTW I havent like a Nintendo console since SNES.

    Lol I remember the good 'ole N64. It was great. SuperMario 64 was good and Diddy Kong Racing by far the best game ever!

    Lol they include Nunchuks???

    Last one I bought was SNES. Last one I loved was N64 (Mario[Tennis|Party|Golf] are da bomb). Looking forward to this one - I stopped playing games because I don't have time for it. I can have friends over and throw a party around this, provided the controller works as advertised. I personally can't wait to be playing tennis on this thing.

    heh, it will still be worth buying a Wii/360 combo than a PS3.

    My last Nintendo system was the 64, which I returned a few days after I bought it for a Playstation. The wii looks interesting from an interactive standpoint, but it's their first attempt at motion control, so there will be plenty of bugs, and the games just look really half assed compared to the 360 and PS3.

    I think that has been Nintendo's positioning strategy for the past 10 years

    I already have my preorder in at FYE.

    I also have 13 PS3 Preorders in, all for the $600 version, at different places, but those are all for eBay.
