If you want to blame anyone, blame Nintendo. In Canada, we pay $264.50 for a Wii, just to sell it for $269.99. If the customer pays with a credit card, we lose over $6. Now, as a business, does it make sense to even bother selling that product? Especially since NO ONE buys games for the Wii. They just buy the system, their kids play with it for 2 or 3 days, then it goes in the closet and never gets seen again.
