The million dolar question is... Does it have 4G connectivity and can Nintendo cooperate with mobile operators, so that they offer it (the tablet + right/left Joy-Pads, without the dock) as part of your mobile deal for $1 and hide the rest of the price in monthly payments? That would be huge.



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.

Well, if we are patient enough we can probably buy imported for 2 thousand (reais) in early 2018,

There is no way I'm paying that much for it anytime.
I'm not willing to pay 2K even on the PS4 Pro, to be honest.
Don't like to couple with the pricing absurdity regarding gaming stuff around here, that's a massive steal even considering the usual massive steal we deal with on everything, it's over borderline ridiculous.

I saw the PS4 at 1450 (reais) on Submarino in some kind of a sale. I agree, prices are terrible. For games too. I pretty much only buy stuff on sales now, software wise. Gone are the days of pre-ordering Last of Us or Heavy Rain to play it on day one.

Now I play whatever is cheap. Paid 40 (reais) on Batman Arkhan Knight with all the DLC, that is the way to go...



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Looks like corruption is rampant in all BRICS countries. Games and hardware are overpriced in my country as well.

399$ is perfectly fine pricing if it comes with some of the standard accessories, maybe throw in a Pro controller or something.

Bear in mind the Wii U has been 299 for how long? this has wayyyyyy more bang for your buck.


I'll be getting it at 399$ or below for sure

I think it should be 1 dollar, 2 max. As we all know, research and development on this console can't possibly have cost more than 50 cents, and it was probably done over a weekend. The graphics aren't twice as good as the latest PC graphics card, so ofc its not worth more than at most, a couple of dollars.

Right, guys???



I'm fine with 399, but wouldn't mind a cheaper price. I do like money after all.



Dr.Vita on 20 October 2016

Way too expensive. $300 should be the maximum.




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Very cool! Have you ever watched Makkhi (Eega)? It is one of my favorite movies. It is about a guy that gets murdered and comes back as a fly that wants vengeance.

Also, it has the most beautiful song:

Thoda Hans Ke Dikha (Konchem Konchem)

If you want it to flop, sure. However, if Nintendo doesn't want another Wii U, this needs to be $249 MAX. Any higher and it will be Wii U all over again.
