EA throws support behind Wii - cheaper game prices - Wii

Electronic Arts has thrown strong support behind the upcoming Wii console, stating that they have a large range of games in development for the console, and the existing DS system. No doubt this has largely been due to the DS Lite's success, and confidence in Nintendo's systems in future. This follows on the back of Ubisoft's, and Midway's recent tentative support for the system, with a few games in development.

One of the most more interesting comments is that Electronic Arts launch title games will cost no less than $49.99USD, or around $70AUD. This should complement the cheaper price of the Wii console itself, and in stark contrast to some of their games on Xbox 360 which are around the $120AUD mark.

Sliced Comments: If this proves true, and others follow EA's lead, the console is looking like a cheaper proposition all-round. Let's hope we see other quality 3rd party developed games to match.
