$650? At least it's going to be the cheapest of the three.
The Arena Gamer Experience is a Brazilian gaming show that's open to the public. It took place last weekend in São Paulo, and people all over the country came to see games companies had on display and play games against each other in various tournaments.
There was some Wii news to be had at the event as well. According to Rafael Gómez, a member of the Latamel company which represents Nintendo in Brazil, the Wii will launch in the region in the first week of December at a price between 1,400 and 1,500 Brazilian Reais. 10,000 hardware units are expected from the get-go.
Converting that Brazilbucks figure into American dollars puts the Wii's retail price in the country at around $650. Obviously, different economies around the world dictate that prices for things are different in other regions. Even so, that's a lot of money for the lowest-priced next-gen system.
Luckily for us Yanks, we won't be paying any more than $250 for the Wii console, when it's released in the States some time before Thanksgiving.
