Wii U Expected MSRP Of $399

It seems that the Wii U will be one of the most expensive launches in Nintendo’s history, as reports indicate that the console will launch at a $399 price point.

In an interview, Nintendo of America prez Reggie Fils-Aime stated:

“If I’m the head of a household of a family of four, and my disposable income is $50,000 to $60,000, I’m going to continue to look at the Wii because of the software, and it’s a great entertainment device. For consumers who want to have the latest gadgets and have a higher disposable income, that’s for the Wii U.”

Those eyebrow raising comments have laid an expected MSRP of $399 for the Wii U and its tablet-styled controller. Let us know what you think.

      I don’t think I’m buying one till it’s $200.

      I got burned on the SNES, N64, DS and Wii. I’m not giving any more money to Nintendo.

    3. Rauelius Says:

      So, Nintendo really didn’t learn ANYTHING from the 3DS…$300 is the most I’d give them for this…Otherwise, I’ll stick to cheaper (more powerful?) PS3 and Xbox360.

      FYI the wii u is supposed to tote MORE powerful processing power than both the PS3 and 360. I understand being skeptical of the system, but to be honest I fell this is actually a move in the right direction away from the wii. This console cater to both the casual and hardcore gamer unlike the wii which catered only to the casual gamer and family base demographic.
