The Gamepad of the Wii U is pushing up the price a bit too high, similar to how the stereoscopic 3D of the 3DS increased the price beyond reasonable standards. |
The difference is that with 3DS the price was higher for a feature that doesn't change the gameplay in any way or add to the experience other than a graphical effect. WiiU's Gamepad is a game changer with both games and overall functionality (my opinion).
And do you really think the price is too high? $299 (basic unit) is a sweet spot for a console launch; had the Wii been $299 it still would have launched phenomenally well.
