$99 bundled with a good Mario game (for the sake of comparison, I'd pay $299 for the PS4 or Xbox 720)

That's ridiculous.  There's no way it would be $99, and the PS4/720 would not be $299 unless they want to have the same specs as the Wii U.  I think the Wii U will be around $250-400.   If I had the money, I would pay at most $300 to buy it day 1.  However, I don't have much money to spare for a home console, so I probably wont be able to buy it day one regardless of its price.

EDIT: When I say same, I mean similar.

250 USD but after they get games, I would pay 300. Will be 300 at launch anyways...

Wow! this thread is full of trollish comments...yeah we got it the first time you guys said WiiU was current gen and that its playing catch up and blah....but theres no need to be so disrespectful...


300$ is the price for me.

This answer makes me think you don't know what a Wii U is.  That, or you're trolling.

250 dollars without games, 300 with Pikmin 3

But I usually play with my 2 rules before buying the console
1. Decent price (200-300)
2. 3 games I want to play

The second one will be lacking with the Wii U on launch day

Hmmm... What's the price of four Gamecubes & a roll of duct tape?

Not a penny more than $299.99....before taxes.

It ain't the price, it's the games. With only Pikmin 3 currently on my "do want list", that's not enough for me to buy the Wii U at launch.

Going to wait awhile (probably at least a year) to see what other games are coming down the pipeline, and to see how well the hardware and infrastructure, especially the online, stand up to the Next Box and PS4 before blowing more than $300 on another console.
