How is it possible that the X1 and PS4 are already basically the same price as a Wii U?

Yeah, they have done that the past two generations now, and it is time to give up that mindset.  Not sure how they really got into that, but they need to drop it ASAP.  Clearly, no one else cares.

Eh....Eherm.....I...I care! :P

No seriously, I appreciate it. I'm a student, I'm not swimmimng in money. So everything I don't have to spend on my power bill, I can spend on games/assorted nice things. Maybe electricity is cheaper in the US or something, but it's pretty expensive where I live and prices are rising pretty much yearly.

Electricity is expensive over here. A "normal" amount to pay every bill is around the $400-500 Mark. I believe the providers are just greedy, because the watt price isn't too expensive.
