Tails 6,692 Posted March 1, 2012 An unnamed source at Wii U Daily told the republication that Wii U will retail for $299 when it arrives in NA sometime after E3 this year. Nintendo will apparently price the Wii U at $299 in the U.S., 299 Euro's in Europe, and 20,000 Yen ($250) in Japan. Nintendo has previously stated that they will try to keep the pricing in-line with both Xbox 360 and the PS3 Source: http://mynintendonew...0-yen-in-japan/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phantomhive 26 Posted March 1, 2012 If its $299 it doesnt sound that bad considering the graphics that its supposed to have and of course that there trying to make the WIIU a third party game friendly console as stated in last years E3 so i think thats pretty good , hope it turns out to be true http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png 1 Zenithia reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkchaser 788 Posted March 1, 2012 well if this comes out for $299 then i wonder how much the next playstation and xbox will come out for. Also for $299 i might consider buying it sooner than i normally would Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might even pre-order the console if it comes out at this price. 1 phantomhive reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venterrqua 85 Posted March 1, 2012 if its $299 seriously doubt it will be 299 euros as europes 1 euro is worth $1.40 or somewhere near there so around 240 in Europe and £200 in GB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might even pre-order the console if it comes out at this price. me 2 but i also wonder about the next xbox and playstation they really cant be much more than this if they want people to buy them. we dont want a repeat of the ps3 launch price of $599 1 Zenithia reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loki 1,184 Posted March 1, 2012 Nintendo cant really afford to make their consoles more expensive. Making their consoles accessible to younger people and families is almost a trademark of theirs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
axel91 161 Posted March 1, 2012 $299? wow, that's a lot cheaper than what I thought it would cost. But is the source reliable? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spiney 125 Posted March 1, 2012 That's not really too bad compared to what it could be...>> the Wii was 250$ when it came out...i think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weedanort 8,786 Posted March 1, 2012 299 € in Europe? Now that's a bit too much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHADOWPAIN 66 Posted March 1, 2012 Thats a great price range for me. I would definately get this sometime at launch if it turns out to be true Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mirr0rVS13 169 Posted March 1, 2012 I knew it'd be this price. http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png Anything higher would just hurt Nintendo. Wii's aren't meant to be hardcore gaming consoles I don't think, so this better be worth it... Could you say that about their previous consoles? :huh: Or are you one of those whos jumped on the bandwagon of "Only casuals buy Wiis"? http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png 1 lizzie1238 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 5,571 Posted March 1, 2012 $299 ain't nothing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizzie1238 538 Posted March 1, 2012 Sounds very reasonable. I doubt it wil be $50 cheaper in Japan though. Maybe 25 000 yen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junko 2,815 Posted March 1, 2012 as expected for a new gaming console but the price will go down eventually Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zenithia 305 Posted March 3, 2012 tutti frutti. Assuming that the source is reliable, I find that far better than the price of when the PS3 first came out. $300 is so bad for a Nintendo console, since I find that they do a pretty good job in keeping the prices of their consoles reasonable. If I can, I'm going to pre-order the console and look forward to that Zelda game that was on demo for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
