I agree there will only be one bundle, and it will be with Nintendoland. However, I do believe it's possible to see the price at $249. Just remember that the original Wii and the 3DS were both priced at $249, but each made $49 profit at launch. So if they could sell them for $199 at cost at launch, I see no reason why $249 for the Wii U (which used very inexpensive hardware except for the controller) wouldn't be either at-cost or a slight profit. They say they learned their lesson from 3DS, so we'll see. And if they really want to make an impact, the price point is the one and only thing holding them back. We'll see if they can put their egos aside and launch at an economocally-friendly price.
