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

My answer is No and No.

I don't care how expensive the Wii Pad is to manufacture because all I want is a standard controller. If it wasn't for the Wii Pad the Wii U would probably be at least $100 less.

$300 is not the new $600. But $300 is a lot to ask for outdated hardware, a touch pad I don't want to use, and no 3D Mario or Zelda or Metroid game. I just have no reason to spend $300 right now. When the games I want do get released it will probably have had a price reduction.


Almost anything you buy is "outdated hardware" by that standard.  How old do you think the hardware in Wii U is?
