EA Drops Bombshell: Wii Games 'No More Than $49.99'

Home : News : News Story

The Big E revealed they have increased production on Wii and DS games due to excitement over the consoles at E3. Then, they made a comment about Wii launch pricing.


EA announced "...we have ramped up [game] production for the Wii and DS Lite' following significant excitement over the Nintendo-created consoles at E3." The spokesperson also went on to say that Wii games won't cost more than US$49.99 at launch. Well, we would hope not. After all, the lower price of the Wii has been one of it's strongest selling points. If games were to cost the same as Hi-def games on the 360/PS3 then that advantage could be eliminated altogether as quickly as you can say "new-gen".
