So Nikkei was right about the 3DS, what about the WiiU now?

Yeah, i think that`s pretty much it. If it comes bundles with Nintendoland even better!

Yes. The laws of the internet require that once a site is right about one rumor that means that all other rumors they may present also must be true.

I would be happy with £249, especially if that is with a game bundled.

Well, Nikkei didnt give us any NA or EU prices, 30,000 yen is around 380 bucks. But as consoles are more expensive in Japan I believe they'll launch at $€299 and £249.

Yep that's max price.

That's why I left it in my comparison thread all this time.

I see it packaged:
$249 to $269
1 WiiU
1 gamepad
1 wiimote+/nunchuk
1 basic AV connector
1 sensor bar
1 nintendoland

Maybe a $299 bundle with pro controller (no wiimote) and ZombieU or other "core" game like COD:BLOPS2 (no NintendoLand).

I also think we'll see price drops on older controllers considering their price to manufacture is very low now.
Wiimote+ to $25
Nunchuck to $10
Classic Controller Pro $15 - remove original CC.
and
Wireless Pro will be $50
Gamepad will be $70 to $80

That will not happen. Basic WiiU package with maybe Nintendoland at the prices I list in OP.

They especially won't bundle any core game with an extra controller, and especially not at that price.

I support superchunk (we've talked about this before). A white WiiU with NintendoLand, and a black WiiU with ZombiU.

I think it would sell well at $300 with Nintendoland bundled in.
Nikkei is extremely reliable when it comes to Nintendo rumors. They predicted the DSi, DSi XL, and Wii Fit Plus if I remember correctly.
