komicturtle	21. Posted: Sun 25th Dec 2011 18:53 GMT Okay. There's Nintendo. And Super Nintendo. Are you telling me people these days are real dumb? _{Not going to lie, there's been a lot of them lately}. I can understand the confusion.. Well, kinda. But if people just think "So, WiiU.. It's basically a Wii.. With a giant tablet." I don't understand how WiiU from Wii is not some type of sequence. There was the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo 64 and Nintendo Gamecube. Then, there's the Nintendo Wii and now WiiU. How the hell do people not see a sequence? It's not like Nintendo releases different iterations of the same hardware like they do with their handhelds (besides maybe the Super Nintendo "slim" and the new Wii model).

RYBlast	22. Posted: Sun 25th Dec 2011 19:51 GMT Nintendo should focus on making people understand that the Wii U is NOT a Wii. I asked a guy if he had a 3DS yesterday, and he said yes. It turns out he was taking about the DS Lite.

Erica_Hartmann	25. Posted: Mon 26th Dec 2011 02:28 GMT I guess its the style/looks of the system that throws people off....I mean, the U's controller is kinda Wii-ish. The logo could confuse people as well, since it's just a Wii with a U at the end, lol.

Think it was on an IGN interview or something. Maybe Reggie was acting dumb and really meant the Wii U "won't be the same price as the Wii is currently ($150)."

Chrono_Cross	27. Posted: Mon 26th Dec 2011 04:17 GMT I couldn't see the Wii U being less than $250.

The video game industry survived just fine without these "casual" gamers. The Super NES, Sega Genesis, PS1, PS2, Xbox, etc. never had a large casual market; they catered towards gamers.

the_shpydar	32. Posted: Mon 26th Dec 2011 16:55 GMT It will be priced at $399, then 6 months later Ninty will drop the price to $299 and give early adpoters 10 free GameCube games.
	The Shpydarloggery She-Ra is awesome. If you believe otherwise, you are clearly wrong. Lindsey Stirling is as awesome as She-Ra. Perhaps even more so. [22:54] Emeralds: Well it is intrestingly wrongfully naughty and giggledfuilled i'd be fiilish not to approve u_U 3DS Friend Code: 2578-3211-9319

All of those systems had a huge casual crowd, especially the PS2. Remember the huge amount of people that didn't care for gaming but bought a PS2 because it had a DVD player?

People can't be that blind... If you can tell the difference between PS3 graphics and Wii/PS2 graphics, then you can tell the difference between a 3DS and regular DS. It will be the same situation with the Wii U.

stromboli	38. Posted: Tue 27th Dec 2011 16:38 GMT Wii U will cost $300. They launched the Wii at $250, so they wouldn't launch the Wii U by too much more (they don't want another price drop like the 3DS, and $130 difference between the Wii U and 3DS will be huge as it is), and $350 will not be competitive enough to the other consoles which will be priced at perhaps even $200 by that point. $300 it is.
	Not only does the 3DS come with an SD card, but it also happens to come pre-installed with one, additional dimension.
