Wii accessories and profit
Some news of Wii prices and accessories has come to light thanks to Engadget. The site claims to have a copy of a CompUSA markup sheet, on which you can see the price differential between wholesale and retail. The margin on the console itself is surpisingly low; it's a little over $12 US. You can read the whole sheet after the jump. The site has also managed to get photos of Wii gear headed to Target, but they're generally unremarkable except for a strange pair of official accessories. The "controller gloves" resemble rubber sleeves you can buy for your iPod, and appear to come in two different three-packs: red, blue and pink, or else green, black and silver. The other accessory is a package of dog tags and lapel pins - presumably for sticking on backpacks and keychains.
