The Wii U is supposed to come out some time this year. And with a new console there one thing that you need to get, money! Since Nintendo is making the leap to HD its proply going to cost more than the Wii did. But by how much? The HD consoles out today at the least cost about $250. But with the new tablet controller how much is that going to cost? Its already been announced that Nintendo is working on making it possible to use more than one tablet controller but most likely it will come with only one tablet. At least we can use are old Wii remotes right? But how much do you guys think the console, tablets, accessories are going to cost? And don’t even get me started on the pricing on the games. Its cost $40 for a 3ds games! Anyways don’t get me wrong, I excited for the Wii U and I proply going to buy it regardless of the cost =D . I just want your guy’s educated guess on the cost of this bad boy.

$350 might be a little too much. The first Windows 8 ultrabooks should be coming out around that time and its time for me to laptop.

$300 or nintendo better have some killer launch titles.

WAT!

I bet the Wii U tablet will be separate. The console itself will be $200. Wii U controller will be over $100.

And why do you bet this? Why would Nintendo constantly show them together only to sell them separately?

I actually had to sit here for a minute and think about what you just asked. I am dumbfounded by your questions.

You said you bet that the controller and the system would be sold separately. I asked why this would be the case since the whole idea revolved around the controller. That would be selling half a package to consumers and believe me, that's not something Nintendo wants to do.

I'm assuming you can play most of these games with the Wii remote. Plus I'm sure they will sell Wii U controllers separately whether one comes with the console to begin with or not.

Nintendo has never released a system for more than $250 before. If Microsoft can make a profit selling the 360 + Kinect at $250, I don't see why Nintendo can't sell the Wii U for the same or at most $300.

If they're smart, they won't go over $300. Who knows if it will even sell at that price. At $350, I probably won't get one for a while, and neither will the majority of my friends.

I think it'll launch at $299.99. However, Nintendo will probably make a lot of profit off the accessories.

If Nintendo is smart they will price the Wii U higher than the PS3 and Xbox 360 so consumers will at least think they are getting the newest, latest and greatest, more advanced system.

I guess that never less than 400€, but if they dare to jump the 40€ to 60€ for games, then I think WiiU will become an even most notorious disaster than the Game Cube.
