I am (more or less) seeing what I would have expected to see from a dedicated gaming site ... There is an over-representation of people who want and are willing to pay for premium systems, a an under-representation of people who want budget systems, but mostly people (seem to) want to pay between $300 and $400 for a new console.

imo, $400 is a fair price for new and awesome technology. now i'm above average on income and a serious gamers so i can understand why not everyone would jump at this price. but i think there are enough people like me that would jump at $400 that the rest can wait for the $300 and $200 price points down the line. i feel anything about $400 quickly prices out your potential marketplace for a this kind of luxury item. $600 is obviously too much lol.

P.S. power should never determine your console purchase, as it means little in the end.

bingo.

did you change this thread? i swear i thought it is about ps4 wtf? i really thought you asked how much we would pay for a ps4 4x as powerful as wii u. so people please don't read my second post^^

but it still stands, 4x as powerful and i would pay 500 euro if interested in the games.

$1.39

If the console were more powerful and developers make an exclusive game for it of a franchise I really like, like for example MGS: Twin snakes on the gamecube; I could end up buying one just like I bought a gamecube for it ¬_¬, for a not so crazy price; $500 would be the top, considering I am buying the console for 1 game.   MGS is awesome and with crazy graphics and more power would be awesomer.   But then again, if it is not an exclusive, then I would rather stay with my (according to this thread, inferior) PS3 and wait for the PS4, so that I can have the same game in my console brand of choice without needing to have more than 1 nextgen device.  I like my gaming needs to be centered in one device if possible, with the exception of PC only games like RTS games.

as long as its made by Nintendo i have no limit other than the moni have

About the same as I would pay for the current Wii U I guess.

My limit when buying a console is 300 €. I've never payed more and I'll never will.

However, with a WiiU with 4 times more power, and the fact that game development will be more expensive, so a WiiU port will be necessary for most publishers, I could go the extra mile and get it for 400 €.
