gamrDiscuss: How Much Will the Wii U Cost? - News

$299.

Here, in Brasil, $600. lol

Sad but true. Q_Q

Pretty sure I have two threads with polls discussing this in the forums. One from E3 and one just after 3DS price cut to see reflections on this. First one had an average of $350 and the later one reduced that average to $300 based on new Nintendo thoughts post-3DS. I'm sticking with that, $300.

It will be free.

There's a slight chance it will be $249, but it'll probably be $299 at launch.

$299 for sure. it may have been $349 if the 3DS did well at launch

299 would be my bet.

yeah 299 sounds fair.

$299.95 with a single "new" controller and bundled game.

TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE U S DOLLARS

$299... not too long ago, Nintendo probably could have gotten away with $349 or even $399 for the system, but with the recent 3DS launch debacle and obvious price gouging by Nintendo, not to mention the other HD consoles' inevitable price drops between now and next fall, no way can Nintendo get away with launching the Wii U at even a penny more than $299.99.

"Will" not "with"

I would have to go with 300$.

I'm going with $299.

No less than $300.00, but I'm going to say $350.

$599 US dollars. More like $299.99 or $349.99

My guess for the price was 350$/400$ (250$/300$ for the console and 100$ for the controller), based on the following:
1) Wii came out at 250$, which is ~275$ now, but it will be ~285$ on April 2012 (most likely launch date). Knowing that WiiU is going to be slightly better than PS3/X360 (like the Wii was in comparison with GameCube/Xbox), it was very likely it would have a similar price.
2) PS3 and X360 should lower their prices to ~220$ until the end of the year, possibly bundled with games.
3) Kindle, the cheapest tablet, costs ~140$, so I cannot see how the WiiU’s controller could be less than 100$.

In this moment, after what has happened with 3DS, I believe Nintendo is considering a price between 300$ and 350$. I think that 350$ are appropriate for the “new” factor of the console and it is not a deterrent price for the early buyers. On the other hand, the 300$ level might give the console a greater initial momentum, providing also Nintendo with more guarantees of not having to do any premature price cut.

more than likely $300 or with these imaginary exchange rates we have in the world of electronics £330

Add your comment...$299, but i think controlers will be $40-$50 a piece

After the big price drop on the 3DS I feel that Nintendo isn't going to try to overprice the Wii U. My guess is 299.99 USD. Maybe they will go up to 349.99 but I'm kinda leaning towards a lower price point.

I'd say anywhere between 300 to 350

300$ us or 179$ cad

willing to pay at launch and not going to happen $179.99. it will cost $249.99-349.99 but i wouldn't price WiiU past $249.99 if i were Nintendo.

Holy crap, there's been THAT much inflation since then? Geeze.

$279.99

If there smart and have learned their lesson from the 3DS $249. Probable going to end up at $299 and hopefully not $349. Anything beyond $400 would be a hyge mistake.

$299

Perhaps at 249 after what happened to the 3DS. They've learned their lesson. anymore than that, then they haven't learned anything.

$299USD

and my dollars, about $449AUD

Wait.

So since 1985 the US dollar has halved in value? And the Wii that's priced 100$ more than the NES is actually priced cheaper?

Oh how much must my country fall.

I'd be surprised at less than $299. But that's going to be at least $100 less than the launch prices of the 720 and PS4. So still highly competitive price point with a big head start. Sony won;t make the mistake of being the most expensive console out of the gate, or at least it will only be slightly more expensive. Question is, will anyone launch at a loss-making price? MS I think yes, which probably also means Sony will too. Wii U should launch at break even or a slight profit.

$900. People will look for a third job to afford it. O-)

I think $250 is most likely, and $300 is the very high end. A lot of the power advancements over the competition that Nintendo will see will be from newer architecture and improved baselines. Based on the rumors circulating, the actual parts involved (minus the controller) are just about in line with Xbox 360 Arcade prices. Maybe a tad higher, but given the diminishing returns of supporting older hardware over a long time period it may also be cheaper. The real question mark here is the controller, and I cannot fathom it costing anywhere near $100 to produce. I doubt a replacement controller will be sold anywhere near that at retail.

Could well be $400 with how cocky Nintendo has been recently with the 3DS and all. More realistically $300. I can almost guarantee it won't be under $300

I say $249.99

$300.

Obviously around 300, any more and people will just get a ps3/360 any less and they can't profit off it

Why don't they just release a remake of Twisted Metal: Black Online first? I loved that game(the original Black version) and i'm sure it will sell pretty well. Just look at God of War collection.

$349.99 maybe. If not then £299.99. And it will probably sell for £250 even though thats about $450

I'll say - Console 349,99USD , Game 59,99USD and Controller to be 89,99USD but I don't know...if they said it will have slightly better graphics than PS3/360 than I'll say 249,99USD for the console

350

I will have to say $399 with a remote and one game.

$349

I'd drop 300 w/out blinking an eye...perhaps 350. but even if i have to blink or jaw drop if its more, ill just have to have it anyways.

$349

I am saying $349.99 USD. But I have a feeling the game prices will stay at $49.99 USD.

450$ maybe 400$ if they reconsider after 3DS launch failure

I mean how much were the 360 and ps3 on launch? It's got to be well around $400 but id say a little over.
