If and only if you think you can put a price tag on the Wii U in the absence of competition. To reiterate, right now the Wii U is the console on the market with the fewest games and the highest price point, so the comparison with the PS3/ 360 is deeply unfavorable to it.

Come hardware launch, that flips. It's the cheap console with the early midlife library when everyone else is more expensive and has only a launch library. And parenthetically, it's the only console which truly adds functionality to entertainment centers, even if they've already got a console: the gamepad adds a second screen. The comparison is radically different, and the Wii U winds up looking like great value, even at $350. It just has to be compared to next gen consoles, not current gen ones.

I would normally agree with you, but the market that buys Nintendo consoles doesn't buy them at 350$. It's the historical trend so far, no matter how much more affordable they are than the competing products.

the market for ps and xbox work the same since it wasn't until the ps360 got bellow the $300 mark that they started to sell well.
