The Wii novelty honeymoon is over now, and its not shifting anywhere near as many units as it used to. I for one used to own one, and have been bored of it so long that its not been switched on in a year.

The price drops in the other consoles just means that the wii no longer looks like the value option, therefore it really has no plus points.

For £20 more you can get an exbox 360 elite

For £70 more you can get a playstation 3

Value for money, i think not!

My sons have one there bored with it so no valve for money anymore.I think it about time they brought out a new updated console or could be last like last time.

... that the average Register reader is not Nintendo's target audience.

I always knew we weren't average - and consider the Wii to remain good fun and value for money.

If anyone's is languishing and gathering dust, they chose poorly in the first place - the FAIL's on them, not Nintendo :-)

The Wii II (or is that Wiii?) is out soon...

Sony PlayStation 3 Slim 120GB Console from £244.69

So thats a BluRay Media Player and HDMI console for £50 more...
