They didn't need to. No sense in creating hardware on the cheap and then trying to emulate what MS and Sony are doing with their feature packed console hybrids. The whole point of the low price point was to offer something stripped down and affordable.

What implementations are you talking about that had too many competing goals? That makes zero sense. Let's hear you explain that. Wii already is doing things incredibly different than competitors. You can't put Nintendo in the same territory as Sony/MS.Juice said:

I'm glad they're charging different prices for different games.

Even if it is, it 's rarely is supported well on other platforms. Kids go on PC to play for free and it always work.
Nintendo is loosing focus. Back to games for cheap as promised.

As I said, $250 would be more acceptable if every last aspect of Wii wasn't so damn cheap.
If it had 1gig of flash memory instead of 512mb. If it had DVD playback out of the box. If it at least supported HD resolutions...
But Nintendo went out of their way to make this the 'value proposition, a console about appealing to non-gamers with innovation, not power' and the resulting offer seems positively anus-raping because of it.

1:27 a.m. EST [update 4] From Famitsu, Iwata is talking about how the DS has shifted the market in Japan.
1:32 a.m. EST [update 5] Iwata continues to talk about expanding the game playing population, making games for everyone, even non-gamers. Nothing new.

so many people are bitching about $250.00, when they wil shell out $600.00 for a PS3. Are graphics all that matters? If it is, then get a PS3.
Wii games look as if they could be amazing, and all this GC 1.5 is a load of bull. It's not always about the numbers, and processor clicks, or the number of polys the video card can crunch, it's about innovative gameplay.
So yea Wii haters, quit your whining, it's just silly.

Didn't they say their goal was to make something you'd turn on and check in with daily? (kinda like the daily routine stuff in animal crossing) So apparently when you log on to see what Wiiconnect has given you or if there are new VC games (kinda like checking xbox marketplace daily) there's a few other things on that interface like the weather or something. Not a huge thing, kinda like we see jessica simpson on marketplace now. (don't really need that either)

So is all of Japan's stuff cheaper, or did NYT translate all of their prices badly by dividing by 100?
See:
Console 250 yen = $250
Virtual Console Games: 500 - 1000 Yen = $5-10
I doubt that is it, but it has to be one of these two possibilities. Hopefully Canada won't get screwed too, giving us bad exchange rate on top of bad exchange rate.
