RUMOR - Wii U priced at $300

@Chased
. . .but Nintendo does provide both low cost and high quality at times . . .

You don't ever see Nintendo consoles getting a RROD or YLOD sort of thing. . .

I meant tech-wise...

While the yen has been climbing a skyscraper and the dollar taking a skydive, 20,000 yen is insane.
The wii launched at 25,000 yen, $250, 180 pounds, and while that was when the exchange rate was much better, I highly doubt they'd set the price in $ and then google the exchange rate to set the yen price.

As much as I would love it to be $300, this low price could end up giving the system a toy stigma.

$300 is what I'm expecting it'll end up with. I can't see them going much higher but then again, they went $250 for the 3DS at launch [I predicted $200] so what do I know.

I will not purchase another console that is over $250, ever, ever, ever again.

If thats the price, then I will gladly pay it.
