one big problem is the strong yen. the euro/yen exchange ratio was 1:160 or so to the euro when the wii came out now it's like 1:100. so if this will stay so strong it will be hard to sell the wii u for 299 or something like that. |
Totally agree. As mentioned PS3 launched in AUS for $1000AUD. People paid the price for it as it was still half the price of a decent computer inthe day that matched PS3 specs here.
The $600 price everyone here is so worried about is a place holder price in Australia in australian dollars. I am sure it will be cheaper in the USA.
I still dont get people complaining about a $350 price. It is a reasonable grown over the period betweenwii and Wii u launch, assuming technology also in the Wii U is good.
