How much are you willing to pay for a Wii U?

Well obviously some people are going to want more info before answering this question but based of the rumored specs and info we have so far I say anywhere from $250-300 is a reasonable price point.

It could be worth more but in order to stay competitive with the other hardware out now Nintendo can't be asking us to shell out to much. And I hope they learned their lesson to never sit back and let third party handle a systems launch. If 3rd parties want better sales on a Nintendo console ...... make better games and stop making bad ports.

299 tops

If it's going to compete with ps3 & 360 it'll have to be around $300

£200

No more than $250 ~ $300. It's not that powerful compared to the 360 and PS3 and there's no point on buying 3rd party titles on the Wii U if you can play the same game on a cheaper console. Hopefully they learned from their mistake with overpricing the 3DS.

dude, if they pull themselves together and make an awesome system without the technological shortcomings the wii had, i would be glad to pay 500-600. of course they also need to release amazing games and get 3rd party support again.

so ya im gonna wait a few years to see how the wiiu does, check out its gaming library, see what microsoft and sony have to offer. and only then will i decide if i should pay for the wiiu

249.99

$300-$350 and $400 if the hardware really is a significant improvement but who am I kidding I'd pay up to $400 for any nintendo console.

I am going to enjoy and feed the rage among everywhere if Nintendo goes a Wii U price of $400 or more.

How do you expect to put a price on something without even knowing the hardware?

A max of £250($400) is all I'm willing to pay at the moment. Although if the lineup includes amazing exclusives then I'll have to bump that up to £300. The USA really has it easy with its prices :) £300 = $480.

No more than 348 dollars.

Well, the wii u has a lot to prove at e3 2012 because right now many gamers(including myself) think that it is only slightly better. If they don't show any hardware features or software that show the power of the the system and they ask for more than $300 they are just shooting themselves in the other foot

The first foot was shot when they released 3ds with no major first party game because they wanted 3rd party to have the spotlight.

200$

I think $300 should be as high as it goes. Any price below that would just make me happier.

300$, not more

The resolution of a portable display isn't important at all, the major factor in judging a portable display's quality is its pixel density. And going by the feedback from everyone that's used the controller so far it has a high pixel density. There's very little difference in quality between the HDTV display at 1080p and the controller screen.thesnowdog2005

Resolution has nothing to do with it's cost. Forget about the resolution, it isn't important. You can have a display capable of displaying 852x480 pixels but it's pointless unless you have a high pixel density. With a pixel density high enough a resolution of half as much will look better than a display with a lower pixel density displaying an 852x480 resolution. With portable displays the pixel density determines how good the image looks. It isn't how many pixels on the screen that's important, it's how many pixels per inch that are important. And you won't get progressive scan on a portable display either, there's no point.thesnowdog2005

I expect it to be $400 or higher. Newer hardware isn't cheap, and to think it would cost as much as the 360/ps3 with their really old hardware is not wise.SF_KiLLaMaN

Erm no the hardware is not new its a Radeon 4800 gpu chip -> old ...quad core cpu is not new either. No higher than $400..Im expecting it to be around $350, higher than $400 would be a rip off

Beat ya to it with my original thread: http://www.gamespot.com/forums/topic/28747832/how-much-would-you-be-willing-to-pay-for-wii-u-

I would pay $299 for it.

Nothing higher than £200 ($320) will be its most likely launch price. But £150 is the maximum I would pay.

If they were to market the system for $250, the same as the original Wii, that would be ideal. I doubt that's going to happen, though. $300 sounds more likely.

With a great lineup of games, maybe $350. Otherwise, I think I'll wait until the price drops.

I'm fine with up to $500 but that doesn't mean I'd buy it right away at that price point...heck I'm getting the $350 Vita.
