Does that mean Nintendo are the greediest?

Or their engineers just made bad hardware design choices, and thus it ends up costing what it does.

Funny that a PS4 slim costs the same considering it's ten times as powerful in nearly every way. That tablet controller sure is expensive.

Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

I'd wanna give my gf a Wii U for Christmas, but it seems to be sticking at its current price so I may end up just not getting one. I might get her a PS4 or X1 instead. But Jesus, its too expensive for what it is

And I guess the CEOs had no chance to stop them. Poor them, having to sell their hardware to high prices because of the stupid engineers they had no part in hiring.

Supposedly it'll be $250 at some retailers on Black Friday. Though that's a retailer sponsored price cut to help clear out inventory, it's not an ofifical price set by Nintendo afaik.

$250 for a 4 year old console? Sign me up!
