So unless they are going to backtrack and cheap out on hardware, which lets be real might be good for them and not good for actual gamers; $300-400 is not outside the realm of possibility. |
This is wrong, Microsoft did not alright at this price, it was only when it hit the 200$ pricetag that the 360 started to have success.
Nintendo has never sold a console that much and seriously, it would hurt them a lot if the pricetag of the Wii U was superior to the Wii when it was released.
If the Wii U is worth 400 $ of hardware, it is a massive failure from Nintendo, a massive mistake. But I doubt they are that stupid. They know price matters more than technology. Wii showed it. 3DS showed it again.
I would be very surprised if they released the Wii U at more than 300$ after experiencing the 3DS slower than expected start before the pricecut.
