Yes, the Core. I know you have to buy a memory card/HD but still for what you get (alledgedly little more powerful than an Xbox1 which can be had for £80 at the most) it seems like an expensive deal for us. Granted our prices include VAT and US quoted prices dont.
OK, you need to buy a memory card (£18, and thats only 64meg, Wii has 512), the wifi adapter (£55) and the controller isnt wireless (£30 if you want that). Plus you need a game which is realistically £30 minimum if you pick one up on offer in Game at the minute.
So thats actually £303, or £333 if you want a wireless controller, just to give it almost the same basic funtionality as the Wii.
Not a flame (I love my 360) but you need to look at the extra stuff Wii has included (HD Graphics notwithstanding).
