isn't £300 pretty good for all that,the super slim is £250 isn't it top one anyway

what is nintendoland then is it a lot of games or like one huge platformer game


Nintendoland is a bunch of smaller games put together. It's similar to Wii Sports Resort but it has more games I believe.

Actually the top super slim(500gigs) is only  £229.99.(going by Amazon UK here since I'm from the US)

See that? 500 GIGS! The Wii U only comes with 32 gigs are  £300.........

Now, we still don't have confirmation on the CPU/GPU but we know they are not state-of-the-art. All that extra cost must be because of that Gamepad.

(Nintendoland is a compilation of mini-games that show off the Wii U gamepad and its features.Some call it a tech demo, but others say its the new Wii Sports)

I won't even get into the XBox 360 prices which are much cheaper. Wii U will be a tough sell. Nintendo has a lot of work to do.

at a lot of the retailers though the 500gb is £250 sure you get some bundles too,£300 -£320 bundle will look quite good for a next gen console to the normal shoppers i think,the wiipad should sell it if the shops show it right

and som,eone said that 32gb is flash which is faster or something,

the 12gb PS3 is £149 in the shops,it would never be enough for me though 12gb not in a million years

Tough sell?   It's been sold out since the day after prices were announced.   You call that a tough sell?

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

4gb 360 with kinect is 199 pounds online.
Why should a new console on day 1 with better tech and a touchscreen controller be the same price as a 7 year old console?
