It seems that the Wii U will be one of the most expensive launches in Nintendo’s history, as reports indicate that the console will launch at a $399 price point.
In an interview, Nintendo of America prez Reggie Fils-Aime stated:
“If I’m the head of a household of a family of four, and my disposable income is $50,000 to $60,000, I’m going to continue to look at the Wii because of the software, and it’s a great entertainment device. For consumers who want to have the latest gadgets and have a higher disposable income, that’s for the Wii U.”
Those eyebrow raising comments have laid an expected MSRP of $399 for the Wii U and its tablet-styled controller. Let us know what you think.
Many of us, Wave Race fans have been looking for a Wii wave racing title for a year now with no talk of expanding the franchise. We’ve got a Wii Fit board, we’ve got motion controls, the only thing we’re missing is Wave Race.
Doesn’t matter, I’ve saved up enough money to buy anything they throw at me. If there are any awesome launch titles, I will buy it.
3 words, waste of money
I would rather buy 2 psps than buy a wiiu I hate nintendo btw
Seems a bit expensive for a console we don’t know much about so far. Time will tell if it works out.
