Totally agreed. I also live in Australia and was contemplatng getting a Wii U to accompany my PS4 but the 'deals' on the Wii U are really bad especially compared to the PS4 and Xbox 1 bundles. Both of those consoles play blu-rays also which many people gloss over whilst the Wii U does not. I could not care less about Wii backwards compatibility. For an underpowered console with no blu ray support and struggling sales it should be alot cheaper. Nintendo used to be alot more price conscious back in the N64 and Gamecube days but maybe that did not work out for the financially so they are trying a different approach now. It's their business but I'm not paying $400+AUS for a Wii U.
