3 Wiimotes+Nunchuk = $180
Except, Wiimotes can't play Gamecube, SNES, or N64 games.
Gamecube controllers can. $24 x 4 = $96

That's a total of $336 on top of the $250 already spent.
$586. And you are going to have to spend this if you want a great game of Smash Brawl or Wii Sports/Play. You could be cheap and not by the nunchuks and it'd still be over 500 USD for the complete works.

And it would weigh just as much if not more than the PS3 from the weight of the combined controllers.

Oh did i forget the classic controller? The redesigned normal controller that has just as many buttons as the GC but refuses to play GC games. What the fuck.

The GC controllers are bigger than the fucking system and tethered to the goram' machine!

And Brawl, a that Wii game doesnt use the wiimote. Are they expecting everyone to buy the GC Wavebirds? Fuck it. What's the point of having a sexy system and using a ugly controller? It's like using the DS Lite with a DS fat stylus.

Argh. Nintendo better make their Classic Controller work with GC games.

Min Pricing is done with the least amount of money possible with wireless GC controllers. Max Pricing is the same as Min but with the inclusion of ninchuks. Xbox360 comparative pricing includes the Premium System and the Wireless Controls. Well, 4 player Xbox360 games are a bit less polished than Ninty's but the prices get the point made.
