A reasonable price would be $399-$499. Nintendo is in a very difficult position. They probably have one or two good years at most to recoup the development costs of a new console until they get trounced by PS4/X720. Everything in the WiiU is (a lot) more expensive than in a current PS3/X360, both of which currently sell in the $250 price range. So an initial price for the WiiU in the same range is utter financial suicide right from the start. Then there is the general howling from the clueless crowd that WANT a $199-$249 WiiU. Obviously it is either pleasing the crowd and losing alot (and I mean A LOT) of money, or initially sell the product for a reasonable price ($399) and recoup costs. |
amazon has it on 349 now which i'm pretty sure won't be higher than because that would bring amazon some huge problems. and if the price will be 349 in euros, it will be 349 in dollars. so yeah, i am pretty sure it will never ever cost more than 349 dollars now. no clue if this is a reasonable price but i think it is ok and higher wouldn't be necessary for nintendo.
