LOOL
I am German and I work for something you could call Amazon rival (german equivalent of wallmart etc)
Guess what. The price is set so high because IF Amazon or any other company offers the console NOW for lets say 200 euros for people to preorder but then the console comes out for lets say 350 Amazon IS FORCED BY LAW to sell the console for the promised 250 euros.
Amazon is not willing to get either sued or lose alot of money so they come up with this expensive pricetag.
Amazon just made one small mistake. They didnt explain what i just did.
The real way to handle this is not offering it for pre order at all because there is no official price.
400 is high yes but its still low enough so enough people would be willing to pay 400 and therefore preorder at amazon.
Its a complex situation.
What i dont understand is the whole Drama. Amazon UK was also offering the WiiU but they did offer it for 199 pounds. So why dont people say LOOK WIIU NOT EXPENSIVE AT ALL YEAH! But they complain about the german amazon price tag FAIL.....
