A glooming sign IHMO.

What do you mean? Both quotes from Harrison and Moore about Wii were very positive. Do you expect them to say that it will outsell their own consoles? I think that it is nothing more than Sony saying "People will prefer Wii over 360" and MS saying the same thing about PS3.
I don´t know where to find the Moore quote right now but here is the one by Harrison:

Quote:

"I think Peter Moore is exactly right. I think Nintendo will be the second system consumers purchase after PlayStation 3."

"I haven't had a chance to check out the Wii myself, but Nintendo has a great history of innovation and has always done great things for gaming and long may they do so. But as it relates to our strategy they are very much in a different market."

yeah.. very glooming sign

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, just heard about that. 174 € converted from the japanese price could mean about 199 €/199 USD on launch. Like a lot of people already predicted.
Note how Mori implied that the price could be even lower.
I would be very willing to pay 199

There's nowhere I can't reach.

My bet is on 199.

There is really no reason why they´d sell it for 249 as the Yen price shows how cheap they can sell it and still make a profit (that´s what I assume as the hardware doesn´t seem to be very expensive) of it. Also all their other consoles were 199 on launch date as well - why should they interrupt this "chain" with the console that is meant to be bought by new and non-gaming costumers? I´d be surprised if it´ll cost more than 199 €/USD.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
