That is nuts that the Wii-U is close on to being the most expensive of the 3 systems, in fact considering the fact that MK8 is cheaper than Uncharted 4 if bought alone that bundle is the most expensive for a console.... insanity.

Edit - Right after taking another look at the offerings from Argos the Wii-U is without a doubt the most expensive of the 3 current gen consoles they're offering. Just, crazy to try to recommend buying one of those right now over the X1 or the PS4.

Granted I just did a very quick search, but the Wii U is still the cheapest one in Sweden (by a small margin). This doesn't help the point at all though, it should be much cheaper, especially when the NX is just around the corner :/

Oh yeah there is some shops you can probably get the WiiU cheaper here in Ireland too, especially if they are second hand game shops since those price consoles by demand so in CEX right now you can land a Wii-U for €195 but a X1 will cost you €270 and a PS4 comes in at €295 but that is just because they do base the price they sell stuff on how much it actually is selling for them so it's a far more accurate representation of what each of the 3 systems is worth in a way.

(those prices are all pre owned of course but still come with a 12 month warentee)
