 Post subject: Wii Development Kit Under $2000? |
 |
|
At a recent management policy briefing, Satoru Iwata mentioned that the Wii development kit will cost less than $2000 — meaning third party games galore. First picture of Wii dev kit above.
Nintendo President Satoru Iwata along with the Board of Directors answered many questions at a corporate management policy briefing held last week which revealed that the price of the Wii development kits would now cost as low as $1,732. Iwata expects to increase funding for research and development to prepare for launch.

I just want to add:
Ok this means two things:
A. We are going to see ALOT, and I mean ALOT of games on the
Wii. With only $1,732 investment, many people will attempt to
create their own games for personal profit.
B. We are going to see ENOUGH really really crappy games by
people who simply are going for quick profit.
Either way, this will be an extremely interesting Next-Gen war.
My oppinion Xbox 360>Wii>PS3

So… is $2K a very small amount for a dev-kit? how much does/did the PS2(/PS3?), GC, XBox &360 dev-kits cost???

And comparing the pricing to that of previous gen console development kits, this is dirt-cheap.

A development kit is a bunch of tools used by third party companies to develop, test and produce games for a system (in this case the wii)

What is a “development kit?” I’ve not heard of this term before.
