Are Wii Remotes Too Expensive? - NintendoPals.net Nintendo Friend Codes Forum

Do You Think Buying The Full Controller Set Is Too Much?
Heres The Price Of Everything That Is Necessary :

Wii Remote : £30
Nunchuk : £15
Wii Motion Plus : £20
= £65

Soo That Equals To £195 For 4 Controllers!

What Do You Think?

Thats alot... ._.
Yeah, Wiimotes are too expensive! Especially the Nunchuck! Really...I think they just want our money...
Wiimote: $40
Nunchuck: (i think) $20(maybe less...i dont really know)

They should atleast half the price of these things....Y'know, I may want to save my money...>.> Lower these prices!

Fyree the Spirit God · 06-13-2009, 03:28 AM

yeah, they are...
40 bucks--too much...
but the Nunchuk and Classic Controller @ 20 bucks a pop, should be bundled together for $30, or sold seperately for $15...

there are 3rd-party Wiimotes made by Nyko™ now...
for $35

can someone convert the pricing from £ to $!

Atamagahen · 06-13-2009, 05:25 AM

Yeah...Wii remotes are 40$ Here...but, someone has to earn something, right?

Its allright :P wiorrmote have a sensor in... thats the main cost :P same 4 the wii motion + thats like £40 :P

The remotes are way to expensive. I dont care if they have a sensor, you cant tell me it takes like $30 to make one. Well, at least the games are only $50 and not $60 like on the xbox and playstation(I think).

David · 06-13-2009, 06:40 AM

The games would be cheaper because of GFX. but wiiremotes cost like £20 max to make the games cost £0.50P to make the discs but millions to make :P

TRICOURAGE · 06-13-2009, 06:44 AM

Well, you have to include all the stuff that goes into making the game with the discs. Mabye there so expensive because of "reaserch and developement costs."

This is true, computers, and workers, and time can be costly. Mass production, not as much.

But yeah Remotes are ridiculous. Hell, all I have is two remotes, and one nunchuk. People talk about price, but in the end Nintendo starts getting you with the additions and crap. Sneaky, greedy bastards.

TRICOURAGE · 06-13-2009, 06:54 AM

Well, I still would have to say that it would be cheaper with 2 remotes and nunchucks, 5 games, and the system than the same with the playstation. At least a remote and nunchuck comes with the system.

^_^ they should sell it 4 £30 max :P numchuck £10! or remove the sensor and just have a normal controller :P
