I think it offers a lot of bang per buck. Although graphically it won't be as good as the 360 nor the PS3 (if that ever sees the light of day
) but Nintendo have added lots of extra content, the Wii Channels, the online communities, the photos/media centre stuff, etc... that will appeal to a lot of people. Piggy-backing on a user's internet connection instead of charging an additional fee is also a good idea
The RRP is a masterstroke... $250 = £135ish, which will undoubtedly be bumped up slightly when they add on the mandatory "Rip off Britain" tax, but it's still a damned impressive price for a next-gen console that ships
with a game included
