Bunk. Nintendo doesn't release game consoles on Fridays. lol. Come on. $450? Also: come on. lol.


If the 6770 card is in the Wii-u that price wouldn't surprise me. Nintendo likes to sell there consoles at a profit unlike Sony and Microsoft which usually sells there consoles at a loss for the first couple years.

that gpu is cheap!

Exactly. That GPU would not make sense if Nintendo is selling us a $450 console.  It would be way under-powered for that kind of money.  I think 75% of that list is true, though.  But there are some things sprinkled in there that are just blatantly fake.  Now, if the $450 is from a different currency and was just mis-translated into dollars without accounting for exchange rates, maybe it's for real.  But in the US, there is no way Nintendo would release the Wii U for more than $349.  Not if they want to still be a company come next E3.

but the translation says the price will be 350-400. they had the plan to release it for 450 but since they saw what happened with 3ds they won't release it for that price.


If the Wii U costs $400 then I think Nintendo is toast. 

Do you guys expect this thing to cost as much as Nintendo usually releases there console like $199 - $249, because that's not gonna happen this time. It'll easily be over $300.


Nintendo always puts low-cost, dated components in their hardware.  The 3DS has a PICA 200 in it, for crying out loud.  They won't charge $400 for Wii U, and they will still make a profit.
