To put in comparison:

3DS was 25000 yen too at launch. 250 dollars.

Wii U is 26000, so... why 299 from some people, makes no sense.

Well, it depends on what route Nintendo take, but their latest move tried to compensate for exchange rates and these remain unfavourable.

15000 / 170 = 88 yen to dollar ratio.

If they follow the same ratio as current 3DS prices:

26250 / 88 = $298.

 

And why else make it 26260 instead of 24990? With the same ratio the price is almost exactly $299, so I think that's what they're going for, otherwise it seems too coincidental.

 

I could be totally wrong of course.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.
