Wii, Wii, Wii, all the way home

Yikes. You know, if the reported $499-599 pricing on the upcoming PlayStation 3 holds, it looks like I’ll be switching to Nintendo for my next console purchase.

Which was probably inevitable given Sony’s recent DRMebacle and continued hamfisted proprietary-predatory practices.

That new Wii controller looks really cool, too.

Update (2006-05-25)

Looks like it’s going to be $250 or less, according to the official Nintendo Magazine. If that holds, and I can play MLB baseball of some kind on it, that pretty much settles it for me. See also “Nintendo Announces Japanese Wii Price” at /.
