I choose to believe this simply because...

Wii-U's launch price will 450$

...I like that number.

14 Days, 0 hours, and 32 minutes to go.

But yeah, GAF has already given this the "fake" stamp, but good for the "source" to use Ubisoft as the leak, as that part is very believable.

Bunk. Nintendo doesn't release game consoles on Fridays. lol. Come on. $450? Also: come on. lol.


If the 6770 card is in the Wii-u that price wouldn't surprise me. Nintendo likes to sell there consoles at a profit unlike Sony and Microsoft which usually sells there consoles at a loss for the first couple years.

that gpu is cheap!

Exactly. That GPU would not make sense if Nintendo is selling us a $450 console.  It would be way under-powered for that kind of money.  I think 75% of that list is true, though.  But there are some things sprinkled in there that are just blatantly fake.  Now, if the $450 is from a different currency and was just mis-translated into dollars without accounting for exchange rates, maybe it's for real.  But in the US, there is no way Nintendo would release the Wii U for more than $349.  Not if they want to still be a company come next E3.

but the translation says the price will be 350-400. they had the plan to release it for 450 but since they saw what happened with 3ds they won't release it for that price.


If the Wii U costs $400 then I think Nintendo is toast. 

Do you guys expect this thing to cost as much as Nintendo usually releases there console like $199 - $249, because that's not gonna happen this time. It'll easily be over $300.


Nintendo always puts low-cost, dated components in their hardware.  The 3DS has a PICA 200 in it, for crying out loud.  They won't charge $400 for Wii U, and they will still make a profit.

They were charging 250 for the 3DS, the most expensive handheld they ever had, but then decided to cut prices because of the lack of sales, now I'm sure there selling ti at a loss, something Nintendo never does. The same will happen with the Wii-U, there going to have to price it high for what it is, but by the time they seen what pricing high with the 3DS did for them it was to late to change anything or do much about it with the Wii-U. 

Sony always charged $299 for a launch price on there consoles until the PS3. Just because they did it before doesn't meal they'll do it every gen.

Hum, Valve is working on the Wii U already? Seems kind of uncharacteristic of them.



radishhead on 22 May 2012

There's so much stuff in this report that seems very unlikely - I'm going to call rubbish on this "leak"

Some information seems to be too good to be true. I find the $350-400 price tag worrying though. That's something I know Nintendo fans will drop down with ease, but as a person who doesn't find a ton of enjoyment out of Nintys 1st party. I can't justify that unless they have amazing exclusives or a reason to buy third party content on the system.
