A handheld strategy requires a handheld price. $149-$199 from the start. I cannot see Nintendo being able to do that when they will have a controller that could easily retail for $99-$149 all by itself.

I could believe $99 for the WiiU controller, maybe with added software, but more than that is highly unlikely.  Not a chance it'll retail for anywhere near $149, at least not without Nintendo adding new features.

And you think $99 is a good price for a glorified controller?  What does that say about the overrall price of the WiiU? It just does not fit at all with a handheld strategy. It's still the same old Nintendo console strategy.

considering a ps3  dual shock 3 controller in Australia is $78, i think $100 is not unreasonable.
