Nah, $300/$350 isn't as bad as $599, but it's still a bit more expensive than I believe it should be. I think it should have been $250 for the regular, $300 for the deluxe, but an extra $50 isn't the end of the world IMO. Now If the console was $400 THEN it would be equally catasrophic to Sony's $599USD. But if you put it into perspective, you can get a brand new console, with its new gamepad, for only $50 more than the 6 year old PS3, which is weaker, and does not have a tablet controller. Plus, many people won't have to buy extra controllers, as the console supports Wiimotes, which many already own.
The price is right within the range that I predicted ($250-$350), though I was hoping it would be on the lower end of that range, not the higher end. I will still probably fork out $350 for the deluxe Wii U, but I am none too pleased about it, and I will probably only get 3 games with it to start instead of the 4-5 I originally planned. While I wouldn't exactly call the price "too high," it's dangerously close to that. Now, if the graphics are better than I am expecting, the controller impresses me, and NSMB U and Pikmin blow me away, I might take that statement back.

On the flipside, the PS3 has many things the Wii U don't. Like Blu-Ray. Different strokes for different folks.

Many things? It's not really many things at all. Compact DVDs are starting to become better than blu-ray, and blu-rays are slow. Besides blu-ray, I don't really think there's much of anything the PS3 has the Wii U doesn't, while the Wii U has a whole lot more than the PS3 such as webcam, touch screen, better architecture, etc. Of course this means nothing to those who want to compare the next Playstation, but we don't know anything about that yet.
