THe 360 right now is at a price of 199.99 dollars, and the price with kinect is 99.9 dollars. They are finally making a profit, and in a years time it will be even cheaper, to about 200 dollars with Kinect. Nintendo is planning on making it a little more powerful, so I'd say an increase in 50 bucks. And the wiiu controller is about the same as kinect so I'd say it release at a 250 price point while making a profit. |
thats crazy. First of all your math doesn't add up. 360 is 200$ and kinect is 100$. You said the wii u will cost 50$ more and the controller the same as kinect. That would mean it costs $350 not $250
Second of all, the wii u a least according to rumored specs so far is going to be pretty significantly more powerful then the 360 and ps3. There is no way the touchpad is as cheap as a kinect to make unless it is garbage. You are comparing what is basically going to have to be a tablet to a camera. Black friday sales aside, there are ps3 and 360 skus still selling for $300+. I really can't see nintendo realistically pricing their console for below $350 and wouldn't be suprised if its $400.
