The Bioshock, Mass Effect, Ass Creed Trilogies and the Cod Pent/Hexology in HD will make sure the Wii-U is selling at ~x10 retail price on eBay come Holiday 2012.

These are real games unlike Wii Sports and Wii Fit.



Nov 2016 - NES outsells PS1 (JP)

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

ill say 300 or maybe an odd price point like 325. They probably have learned a bit from this 3ds situation. Hopefully they know their audience better now.



Being pessimistic I voted for $400...

The Twilight Princess remake is what will really kick it into high gear :P



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Considering Nintendo's nice profit margins, I was predicting $399. After today (even though we don't know much about the WiiU hardware(still)) , I'd go with $350



e=mc^2

Gaming on: PS4 Pro, Switch, SNES Mini, Wii U, PC (i5-7400, GTX 1060)

$250, I mean They can't risk it at $300, not a lot of people would buy it at that price.



Buying in 2015: Captain toad: treasure tracker,

mario maker

new 3ds

yoshi woolly world

zelda U

majora's mask 3d

299. More seems way too expensive in light of $249 PS3 and 360 with Kinect, and lower leaves no room for price cuts. I can't imagine Nintendo releasing the WiiU at $249, that would mean the first pricecut after the release would already drop it under the 200 dollar barrier.

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

I believe Nintendo is probably aiming for $300, but might be forced to sell it for $350 or $400 because of factors out of their control ...

... Like exchange rates http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=USDJPY=X+Interactive#symbol=;range=5y;compare=;indicator=volume;charttype=area;crosshair=on;ohlcvalues=0;logscale=off;source=;



To me $319 sounds good, but then again I've been proved wrong by Nintendo on countless occassions
