Even with the PS3 and Vita down to $199 each, Wii U will almost certainly be $349 or less. I don't see people seeing Nintendo's offering as too expensive for a brand new console unless it ends up higher. And yes, it could go either way, but Nintendo has built the entire concept of Wii U around this streaming connectivity and, most importantly, have shown multiple times (particularly with DS) that they can make ingenious use of their concepts; ideas that most of us don't expect. Sony and the PS3/Vita connectivity need to prove to me that they can do the same. |
The two consoles being within 50 of the one console is extremely price competitve. We don't konw the price of the Wii U but if you look at the earlier quote about pricing Nintendo may be forced to make it more expensive than they like because of the weak and steadily declining dollar.
Nintendo has also shown that they can completely fumble things up(particularly with Gamecube) Sony can make pretty good use of their concepts too. It's why Kinect isn't that big in Europe because unlike America videogamers there actually saw and enjoyed the EyeToy. Even without as much marketing Eyetoy and EyeToy: Play have sold similarly to Kinect and Kinect Sports. They also already have games doing what Wii U is only talking about today.
