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.

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.

Seems a bit expensive for a console we don’t know much about so far. Time will tell if it works out.
