What if Nintendo aggressively prices the WiiU at $250?

That would attract a sh!tload of sales.

Wii U is not that great, even at $250 because it seems like it'll be the same thing all over again. You care about Nintendo's first party franchises? Then you buy it, otherwise, don't waste your money.

If it's at $250 the other two consoles will probably look overpriced in comparision because of the rumored hardware inside the console and the controller.

I'd at least consider getting it day 1 since the price would never get lower, and Nintendo hasn't made a habit of making console redesigns.

I don't know about everything else you said but I'm almost paid it off and planning for $300

The launch line up of Rayman Legends, P-100, Pikmin 3, New Super Mario Bros U honestly has me panicking over how much money I'm going to spend at launch. Not to mention all the other titles that I want like Zombi U, Batman, Cloudberry Kingdom, Trine 2, etc.

Thankfully like I said I already have most of the Wii U paid off so I can save for 4-5 launch games

Not me.... the Wii was a horrible investment if not for SSB: brawl. Xenoblade chronicles is alright.. doesn't really redeem the Wii though.

Yea Sony might drop the PS3 price to $199 but I think with the PS Vita bleeding so much money it would make sense to sell the PS3 at a profit for a while.

And MS thinks the $99 subsidized 360 is a price drop so I doubt it drops at all this year

I'd buy it for sure, with Pikmin 3 as my first choice for a day one purchase title.

Yeh I Have Very Current Gaming System So I'll Add The Wii U To My Collection :) Treyarch115z

Would it be a day one buy for you? Would it halt future PS3 and 360 console sales? How much of an impact will the WiiU at that price on the industry?Second_Hokage

Right now i would not buy one even at 99$

The only game i cared about, Zelda, they said will be casualized the extreme

I will wait for the real consoles and real games on xbox 720 and PS4 this time

At $250? -- "Day 1" buy for sure. But only if it comes in black.

I think I would cry tears of joy lol. If it was launching at that price, I think I would seriously consider purchasing it within the first week.

To be fair, this is Nintendo, and they do have a good(?) reputation amongst more casual video game players who will see that the Wii U is Nintendo's newest system, and at that price, may simply just buy it straight up.

What I'm saying is, at that price, I'm not sure you'd have the luxury of choosing to buy it within the first week due to stores running out of stock.

$250? Day 1 for sure.

I think it will be awkwardly priced at like, 279$ or seomthing

Games.

I'd get one at 250 just like I got the Wii. It's the perfect price for a new console.

My prediction: It will launch at $349 with the Wii U tablet, 299 with the Pro gamepad, Wii U tablet 99 bucks solo (2 years from now when you'll finally be able to get one).

Are there are actually any games announced for the Wii U that actually uses a Wiimote, as of now?

In order for me to buy that system, I'm gonna need to see some games. I don't care about the price as long as it's not outrageous.

If it were at 250, I think even the haters would buy one. Thats just too good of a price, and too good to be true. But its almost certain that they will price it at 300.

That would be awesome, but I'm getting one regardless because of Pikmin 3

It's just a prediction. About the tablet, it's not your ordinary controller and it has a pretty nice screen. A hundred bucks is cheap for that thing. $99.99 seems reasonable especially when standard gamepads run you $59.99.

I'd still be leaving my money right where it is. I can afford one no matter what the (realistic) price, but it's just not likely to be for me. They've shown me nothing so far to convince me otherwise.

Way overpriced at 250$. Ancient hardware and silly waggletablet aint worth anywhere near that

I'm not buying one until I see Smash Brothers or Metroid.

And that price probably wouldn't effect the HD twins because I fully expect a price cut from both of them right before the WiiU launches.

A $250 WiiU would sell a bunch during the holidays though.

I would be perfectly fine with that, I am getting a Wii U no matter what. I love Nintendo's 1st party, which is worth picking their systems up alone for, and their products are so well built too, never break, never have any problems wiht them.

Of course I'm getting a PS4 next gen as well, love Sony's devs and games too, and it will be powerful with better 3rd party support. While all compaines exist to make a porfit, both Sony and Nintendo do it while making their fans happy. MS however does not, they only just care about the profits and that's it.

I have zero interest in the 720. They will have to make some big changes for me to get one, like offer better exclusives, free online gaming, not sh!tty hardware ect...

If the online community is good (and it may very well be from what we know) I would buy it for 250. I know it'll get great games that won't be available anywhere else.

Don't care until I see some games I actually want for it.
