Nintendo Wii console in India

All those game crazy Nintendo freaks who were still trying to get their Wiis from relatives abroad or from shady Palika Bazaar shops can now rejoice. Nintendo will be releasing their highly successful Wii console in India on September 30 2008.

The console wasn’t expected to be such a success but it beat the hell out of PS3 and even Xbox 360 , everyone loves a Wii. Wii also has certain fitness games and features a great wireless multiplayer controller. The controllers have motion sensors and are really one of a kind as far as game controllers go. Some Trivia : The Nintendo Wii was supposed to be named the Nintendo Revolutions.

The Wii console will be launched by Samurai games in India who had originally introduces us to the Nintendo games (8 bit) in 1987. The MRP for the Wii is Rs 19,990 and the DS Lite is priced at Rs 7,990 inclusive of all taxes which is a little on the higher side. The Wii console in India will come bundled with the popular Wii sports.

The price is a little high when compared to USA, the Wii there costs around 12000 Indian Rupees and the Nintendo DS sells for 6000 Indian Rupees. The higher cost could be due to taxes, margin predictions or a simple desire to earn more profit.
