Meh. I don't know why they are trying to be so coy, it's not like they have to wait to see what Sony's going to charge so they can be sure to be $0.99 cheaper.:shrug:

WII is going to be quite a bit cheaper than .99. Most estimates are in the $350-400 cheaper than Sony range.

I believe he means that Nintendo should have given the final price a long time ago, because no matter what it is going to be a hell of a lot cheaper than the PS3 and Xbox360.

Apologies to pearson...I misread his statement(missed the word "not").

Um, yes Sony bad, Nintendo good, Wii cheap, Ps3 far too expensive, media standards war a debacle, Sony executives likely under the influence of narcotics for last several years...Ps3 impending trainwreck..there, I think that covers it. Carry on.
