I think after overpricing the 3DS they maybe willing to take a loss initially to meet sales marks. Whether that is going to be the case or not NO ONE KNOWS for sure. I don't even know for sure if they are losing money on the 3DS right now as Iwata's translation during the board meeting was a bit skewed. All we know is that the 3DS cost ~$100 to manufacture during launch. Nintendo could have re-negotiated the price or parts and what they sold to retailers since then in order to meet numbers with the price cut. AGAIN no one knows if this is the case. All I know is that looking at the individual pieces of the Wii U; it seems like it might be at the very least 2-3x more powerful than the PS3 looking at the CPU and GPU combination. This along with the rumored 1 GB of some RAM (probably MoSys 1-TSRAM) makes the Wii-U a very competent system!!! My only concern is the CPU and GPU and RAM that might be running the tablet could be a throw away but we still do not know how the controller works in conjunction with the main system.
Price prediction is $349.99-$399.99 with the controller selling for $89.99-$129.99. It is dependent if they are gonna have PICA200 running at 400mhz and dual (as opposed to single on 3DS) Nintendo/ARM 11 processors running at least 1Ghz (highest ARM11 is ever clocked at) or some throw away chips made from shady factories in china.

i can dig it, i think your spot on about the prices for the most part, Ill still stick with it being 400-450, but i think your dead on about the controller

Quote-tree trimmed.
Guys, the tablet doesn't have processor/ram or GPU. From what we've gathered it communicates video signals generated by the WiiU to the tablet via bluetooth. All it needs is a bluetooth reciever and a signal converter to transvert the wireless signals to wired video signals.
The WiiU will most likely release at 350$. Reason? It could release at 400$, but I believe that would be the high pricepoint. Given Nintendo learnt their lesson with the 3DS, I think they'll opt for the lower pricepoint this go around.

i did not know that, that is pretty cheap, sounds like the tech SOny uses for their PSP/PS3 connection.

You even did not now this well known fact. But of course you must discuss here about Wii U?
