Are you serious ?
Sorry to have to do this so simply but these are the cheapest game essential choices out there for the average gamer.
Microsoft 360 core $ 299.00 + $99.00 hardrive + $50.00 live + $50.00 for 2nd controller + game $59.99 before tax - Total- $560.00
Xbox memory card instead of hardrive Total $480.00
Sony PS3 60gig - $599.00 (because 20gig being discontinued) HDMI cables $75.00 + 2nd controller $50.00 + game 59.99. before tax - Total - $785.00
Nintendo Wii - $249.99 + 2gig sd card $39.99 + 2nd controller $39.99 + nunchuck $19.99 + Lan adapter $29.99 + game $49.99 - Total before tax
$430.00
Now all the above prices are exact, however all the above accesories are not mandatory buy's you can get along without quite a few from each one and still enjoy some private game play time.
How ever no matter how you add it up the Wii will still always be cheaper so please don't complain about the cost because fact of the matter is Nintendo gives you the most for the money right out of the box and all you need to begin playing right out of the box including Wii sports so technically the $49.99 can be deducted from the Wii price column but i put it in there for us Zelda addicts.

The thing that scares me the most is that so many people - that claim to be mature(?) - have to bash someone because you dont share his opinion. It seems that it is all of you that is new to forums - or - simply hasnt grasped the concept of what a Forum is.

Even if every price tag isnt right ( I dont know exactly what your referring too ) it doesnt require a bashing. Forum is for people to Express opinions, not as anger-relief therapy.
The Wii is considered cheap by some and maybe pricey by others, its a matter of opinion and no one can decide which is right or wrong cause neither is. It is not relevant how much Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 costs, those prices only explain how much those consoles cost. Heh, I've heard people who thinks Playstation 3 is cheap cause you get a Blueray player as well.
