They'd better keep the price down to $350 at launch especially with 720 coming out at $400.00 and PS4 coming out at $450.00 in 2013 with both of them having 4 times the processing power of Wii-U.

Since when did they confirm pricing for any of the consoles you mentioned...


It's safe to assume that the difference in price and power between Wii-U and The Real Next Gen Twinz will follow that between 3DS and Vita quite closely ie. Sony's next console will be as powerful at release versus the Wii-U as the Vita is in respect to the 3DS with the price difference being being quite comparable to the PS Vita's $250 versus the 3DS's $200 at launch with many more Next Gen Core games on the way for PS4 and the 720 will follow the PS4's pattern. 

 

The 360 launched at $400.00.  Microsoft saw what happened to Sony this gen when they missed the $400.00 sweet spot for true next gen consoles and will once again launch their new console which will will be loaded with as much true next gen tech as you can cram, into a box for $400.00.  The PS4 due to slightly more advanced tech will check in at $450; however as mentioned above its price at launch will be relative to Vita's versus 3DS.

There are never reliable patterns and it's never safe to assume anything with video games. In Sony's state it wouldn't surprise me if they released a PS4 at $299, there are no confirmed specs for the PS4 or Xbox8 so we obviously know nothing. The only console price you can slightly predict is the WiiU based on all the info we were given so far, we still don't really have an exact detailed spec list of what's inside but from what we see it's safe to say it'll be around the $350 price point, maybe more because of that fancy controller they're throwing in.
