CNET News quotes GameIndustry.biz - they quote an EA exec who thinks that the Wii may be priced as low as $170:

While many gamers are getting ready to decide whether they want to shell out as much as $600 for Sony's PlayStation 3 this holiday season, one Electronic Arts executive thinks Nintendo's own next-generation console offering, the Wii, will come in at a much more attractive price.

According to GameIndustry.biz, EA vice president and COO David Gardner expects the Wii, Nintendo's unfortunately named console that was previously known as the Revolution, to retail for about $170 in Japan.

Even at $250, I think the Wii will do very well. If the Wii does come in at $170, it sure will make the PS3 look expensive...
