On the back of earlier financial results, Nintendo confirms a price ceiling for its next-gen console...
Following the release of its financial results, Nintendo has confirmed that the Wii console won't be priced higher than $250 (£134) in North America, and although a similar ceiling for Europe hasn't announced the company has stated that will be similiarly affordable.
In the statement, the company also confirmed earlier reports that it expects up to 6 million Wii units to be sold between its fourth quarter 2006 launch date and the end of March 2007, with around 17 million copies of Wii games sold in the same period.
Continuing the teasing strategy of old, Nintendo concluded the statement by revealing that launch dates, finalised prices, and further details on the Virtual Console, will also be announced shortly.
The price ceiling is $49 less than the Xbox 360 Core System in the US, and a massive $249 cheaper than the basic PlayStation3 model, though these figures could increase by the time the final price is unveiled.
We'll have more news on Wii shortly...

It doesn't matter how good the Wii console is, all the games are rubbish.

There is no point improving the console unless they sort the games out

Yeah, apparently Ninty are working on a new console with graphics to match PS3/60, and motion controllers/games are being created by PS3/60, so its all gonna be good in the end eh! :)

I really would like to see a Nintendo console with HD support. It's the standard, they really do need to catch up.

What Bing popups - are you on about MS search engine? If you're on about the textual ads, just avoid hovering your cursor above em - simple.
Information doesn't drop from the trees I'm afraid...

Just outputting to HD won't be enough - there will have to be increases to the Wii's GPU and memory to make the visuals look sufficiently better. the Wii HD is just a pipedream invented by an anlyst that doesn't actually get that many things right...
