DOesn't gaming stuff generally cost more in Australia?

I'm pretty sure there was another rumor/leak I saw that showed the Wii U price being $350.

is this a place holder????????????jon_cia
You needed to waste a thread to ask this question? Of course it's a place-holder. AU-EBGames didn't get some privileged foreknowledge about the price that every other retailer was left out on. Anyone who thinks this is any sort of indication of the official price is a complete dumbass.

if you look at the rate of difference between the NA PS3 and the AU PS3, then that ratio says the NA WiiU would be $360

Then why would Nintendo want you as a customer? You aren't going to buy any software to continue to support them, so why would they care if you bought their console or not?

Why is microsoft trying to appeal to nothing but casuals when the hardcore gamers who bought xbox in 2001 and bought their games are the reason xbox360 exist today.

They sold out on the people who helped get them where they are today.

video games started as casual **** because of limited technology like wannabe pingpong games but people wanted something more than just emulating a reallife sport lol then real video games were born and the core gamer dumbass lol.

No, you can't leak a figure that doesn't exist.

Nintendo won't finalize the pricing until they get a better sense of how interested consumers are, which will be after E3.
