Im not sure... 250-299 is quite low for a console 3-4x the power of the 360 and ps3... |
LOL. You really think the Wii U will be that powerful? It will be AT MOST 2x as powerful and even that is unlikely.

There have been conflicting reports on the power of the Wii U, but the rumoured hardware has it using a modified version of a GPU which has demonstrated performance on PC games at (roughly) 4 times that of the PS3 and XBox 360; and the claims of the Wii U being only as powerful as the PS3 came from unidentified sources from a business analyst. Being that developers optimizing engines towards particular hardware, efficiency gains from eliminating bottlenecks, and customizations applied to hardware could each increase real-world performance by 50% to 100%, estimating the Wii U at 4 times the performance of the PS3 and XBox 360 would be a very conservative estimate.

It will be 7 years from the time the XBox 360 was released to the release of the Wii U, the hardware required to make a system that is 4 times as powerful is several years old, inexpensive and could be made very energy efficient. Those people who believe Nintendo could not release a system that is at least 4 times as powerful are the delusional ones.
