From what i remember it's gonna be £150ish probably, and being Nintendo it's aimed more at younger users, more entertaining games, and werid controllers, which allow more interaction with games.
Graphics and power won't be as good as the other consoles though.
But like i said, it's playability more than graphics, as usual with Nintendo consoles

Its totally different from the other consoles rob.
No fancy hd graphics or trying to have the most processing power or any of that.
They are all for having games that everybody can join in and, as said, the fancy controller.
I'm tempted to buy one actually.

£180 it is here.
I'm not buying one now because that is so gay.
Americans get it for 130 quid and we need to pay 180.

its not nintendo ripping of the uk, its the taxes in the uk which put the price up, hence why everything here is more expensive than elsewhere!
im still getting one, although im debating getting an import though given the wii is region-free from 1st party developers... 3rd party though can choose if they want to region-lock the console...

not true, computer prices are the same price here than the states, you cant build a pc for less over there, GC games are half as much in the states as they are here too
