I find it odd just how many people are so upset over this(not here, other forums).

I'm kinda upset, the japanese are paying cheaper prices. =(

I so definitely want one of those babies and Sony are going to be pissed if Nintendo manage to get more Wii's to market by the end of the year than the PS3...

people are upset by the price? It's over half the price of the stupid ps3 and still cheaper than a 360. lol.

Anyway, I find it odd that they are selling the controllers seperately... well what are we supposed to play the system with?? ; I mean you would think the system would at least come with the nunchuk and wii-mote. But no. Apparently they are sold seperately.

Unless the article ment you can buy additional controller units seperately.

From the originally posted article:

Nintendo's Wii console will come packaged with one Wii remote, one nunchuck attachment, an AC adapter, an audio/video cable, a sensor bar, sensor bard stand, a Wii console stand and two batteries. The US package will also come bundled with a copy of Wii Sports, a compilation sports game that best shows off the mechanics of the system's unique controller. Wii Sports features tennis, baseball, golf and previously unannounced bowling and boxing games.

Seems like it comes with one.

Additional controllers:

Nintendo Co. Ltd. revealed that Wii's various controllers would be available to buy separately at launch. The Wii remote will cost 3800 yen or about $40; the nunchuck 1800 yen or about $20 and the classic controller 1800 yen or about $20.

I told him I didn't believe his date...and lo' we were both right!
