The games are going to be $50-60, most likely, and who knows how much another GamePad is going to cost. Having to shell out another $50-100 for an external HDD is not something a lot of people are going to like. Don't forget that Nintendo seems to be going in the direction of offering all of their titles as downloads, too, so digital distribution is something they want as part of the Wii U, and a measly 8GB of internal storage is not going to cut it. All these prices are purely guesswork, since Nintendo hasn't released any prices yet... System - $300 2 games - $50-60 each Wii U GamePad - $100-150 That's at least $500 right there, with an upwards total of $570. Add another $50-100 for an external HDD and people might start getting mad. |
Alright, so here's a question for you: would you rather pay $399 for a Wii U with a 320 or maybe even 250GB HDD, or $299 and the option to use any HDD, inducing any HDD you may already own?
For $100, I'd probably take a 1TB HDD minimum, and likely never have to think about upgrading for the life cycle of the console.
