As long as they have an sku in the $250 range, I think they will sell tons

I know that UK price include taxes, just like in the EU, but even taking them into consideration the price is usually higher than it should be.

At least that's the impression I have.

That's because our prices have more than tax thrown in, retailers have these charges they have to pay and the get around that by simply passing them on to the consumer.



So Wii U Basic all over again? I assume the pack in game will be an actual game worth $60 standalone, so that alone would make it the better value and then there's the extra storage and whatever else. The only reason to get the basic model is if you have no interest in the pack in game so you'd rather pay $10 extra to have a choice for your first game. I'd rather believe Nintendo wont make this mistake again, imo they should just have one model and that's it like with the Wii. If they pack in a game it gives it more value that way since you don't see the price of the system without a game.

This does match with the Canadian price of $320 CAD so roughly equivalent..

Still a rumor so I'll wait and see..

[3DS] Winter Playtimes [Wii U]

£199 is a great price if true. I can see it doing much better than wii u at this point but may not match sales of ps4 and xbone in uk.

Makes me feel the spec is more likely to be costed down a bit to meet that price and still be profitable.

All Nintendo have to do is bring out a few must have games and they will reel in my wallet.



It was leaked on Toys R Us Canada at $329.99, so a $249 US price seems very possible!



Sounds good.
