Nintendo wont be making a loss at launch, will they?

$250 for the console, controller and a game? Really?

Sounds like it. The rumoured components are only going to cost around $160 (tech has moved on so much that tech even twice as good shown in the PS360 can be found for this price) judging from threads and leaks, and the game won't cost anything really. The controller probably costs $30 to make, which leaves $60 to play with in terms of shipping, VAT, import costs, retailers cut etc., so I'd imagine Ninty would break even or make $10-$15 profit on each unit at that cost.

Sorry, I dont believe that at all. Cant see that tech only costing $160 to produce. Cant see the Gamepad only costing $30 either.

Id like them.to prove me wrong, but I guess we have to wait until closer to launch. Im expecting $300 personally.

Perhaps. It'd be easier to do when we actually know what's in the system, rather than speculating...

Rumours circling around lately suggest the WiiU will cost around £220, or even as low as £199. There's some rumours about it being as high as £250, but, of course, the 3DS was also rumoured to be of a similar price from a similar retailer.

Until Nintendo announces anything, we can only guess. The lower the better for me.
