Rumor:Wii U to be priced at $299

Difference is that it's essentially being sold as a current gen console in comparison to the Xbox 360 and PS3.

I'm pretty sure there more things pointing it to being sold as a next gen console in comparison to the Xbox 360 and PS3.

It's next gen because it's the next console after the wii specs should have nothing to do with it >.>

Like a screen on its controller? Whoopie. Hardware wise it still looks a lot like the Xbox 360 and PS3 and it's practically being advertised as doing what these consoles do. Except it has a screen on its controller.

20 000 Japanese yen = 154.583832 British pounds
300 US$ = 189.024006 British pounds

why am i dreaming at a price guess on just under £200.00?!?

1$=80p

Europe always pays more for consoles than the US.

"Nintendoes what Sony and Microsoft does".... did you saw that commercial?

Xbox to Xbox 360 jump:
It has higher specs? Whoopie. That's going to make games SOOO much more enjoyable.

Don't argue with Wikipedia

Video game conversion rates innit. $250=£230 for the 3DS and PSV for example. If we applied actual conversion rates than it would have been around £160.

Ahh, lol yeah it probably is about that. This is the only thing I don't like about living in the UK: everything is so damn expensive compared to everywhere else.

Personally I have the feeling that it´ll launch at 399€... 299€ would be a steal though!

I would be OK with both, since I think people shouldn`t compare the prices of 5 year old consoles with something brand new.

Except it's not being advertised. At all. Nintendo emphasized it's 1080p graphics (which, as you should know, the PS3 and 360 don't actually do,) and it's third party partnerships. Everything else is you reading into it.
