I wouldn't buy it at this point. Even for $99.


i would go out on a limb and buy it for that price. not that there is anything that interests me very much  but i know that there will be a lot of games released for the console so ill get it to use it in the future (just the wonderful 101 and zombiU interest me a bit at the moment)

Simply put I can't see the point in a Wii U for myself. If I wanted a tablet, I'd buy one. If I wanted to play 7th gen games, I'd buy the much cheaper 360 or PS3. Until I start seeing 8th gen games on it, I can't see the point of it meaning that no matter how low the price was, I wouldn't buy one. Right now I'm interested in the PS4 and/or a Mini-ITX rebuild.

I must say that I am proud that this hasn't become a flame war. I was just kind of trying to gauge if there is actually any demand at all for it. 

To matzy,  I want your internet!

I want it and I would buy it now, but I don't have enough money, so I would want the price to be as low as possible. But it's not really about price for most people, it's about games.

I'd get it for 150. The Premium one obviously, don't care about the basic one.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

There have been lots of stories recently about the retailer driven UK price cuts and how they have had little effect.

I think the demand is there somewhere, but the price cut needs to come with a few more games to have any real impact

Personally, I have absolutely no interest, but I have never had any interest in Nintendo consoles

30+ hours weekly on Wii U for the last 3 months. My wallet can't handle more games, I am planning to get Lego City and Need for Speed, and Darksiders 2. But with MOnster Hunter it is just silly from me to think i have time for more.

who said Wii U is a tablet? I did not know tablets have the same button layout as the Gamepad, that is an accessory for the Wii U, not he console itself.

you want to hate it, do it. But don't say that kind of think.

Lolwut - is a feature of the wii U not the fact that it has a tablet-esque controller? Also:

Hating =/= honest consumer feedback bro. Calling all criticism hating is denial.

I don't understand why people still insist on calling the Wii U controller a tablet. Tablet's don't have buttons. Wii U's controller is much more like the bottom half of a DS controller than a tablet.
