Wii U: The price is right or is $299 the new $599?

I believe the price is right. The basic Wii U package is just $50 more expensive than the PS3 (the 160GB model) and it's the same price as the 360 (250GB model) and this is a new hardware (doesn't matter if it is more powerful or not) so people will jump in.
