Really? I thought it would be $300, I wonder if the Wii U will actually be $350

guitarded774368d ago (Edited 4368d ago )

Who knows... if it's higher, WalMart will just cancel any pre-orders. If it's lower, they'll send an e-mail about how you "save money and live better" :)

I'm gonna pre-order 2 from amazon... 1 for me and 1 for eBay. I figure it will be in extremely short supply so hopefully they will be going for unheard of prices on eBay and the second system will pay for mine as well.

Well its same powerful than PS3, but its without Blu-Ray.
Next gen PS4 and Xbox 720 is coming out next year and im sure with big grahpic lead. I just not buying Wii U, when i have already PS3 and Xbox 360. Wii U is only for those good, who dosent have any consoles, but wants to play some Wii games and some multiplatform games but nothing else. Facts!

slaton244368d ago

wheres ur proof of next gen consoles coming out next year...dont just assume

WeskerChildReborned4368d ago

Who said next gen is coming out next year? Their is only rumors about it being released in holiday 2013 but it could be 2014 or even 2015. Sony want's to have the PS3 live for 10 years so it can be 2016 as well.

GamingPerson4368d ago

lol you take all these rumors as fact..

720 will have 16 cores & ps4 will be slightly more powerful is a another rumor.

ChickeyCantor4368d ago (Edited 4368d ago )

"Well its same powerful than PS3, but its without Blu-Ray. "

[Well it's as powerful as the PS3]*

And no.

yabhero4368d ago

Your first mistake was thinking it was as powerful as 7 year old tech...

I think the krypppppptttonnnite has messed with your head. How about you fly around the earth and stop yourself from posting such a ridiculous comment?

$350 is pushing it....but I guess thats Nintendo's strategy. Get the hardcore fanboys to pay the premium..then drop the price to $299 just when the 720/PS4 launch at $399 or more.

Outside_ofthe_Box4368d ago (Edited 4368d ago )

$350 is what I expected if the PS3 and 360 don't have a price cut at E3. If they do get a price cut at E3 I expect Nintendo to announce the price sometime after E3 to be $300.

LOL_WUT4368d ago

Yeah $350 plus tax and maybe some warranty that adds up. Nintendo really needs to show what the Wii U has to offer at E3 because so far it don't look so good.

-Alpha4368d ago (Edited 4368d ago )

I am pretty sure if it's at $350 and if Wii U releases before MS and Sony, they will sell with ease, and when the need comes to be competitive, they will cut prices, much like they cut 3DS' price in time to compete with VITA

Outside_ofthe_Box4368d ago (Edited 4368d ago )

@Alpha

If the nextbox and PS4 come out next year, early adopters of the Wii U will get pissed if they cut the price a couple of months before they come out...

But it does seem plausible that Nintendo may take the 3DS approach.

NYC_Gamer4368d ago

I can't wait to learn the specs @E3

Cyb3r4368d ago

Nintendo have no confirmed price for the Wii U

-Superman-4368d ago

Did you even read? Walmart always has been priced things before confrimed things and always were right. 2006 they said price is 250, 6 month later Nintendo confirmed it too. I seen manay stuff in Walmart before and always were right.

Sgt_Slaughter4368d ago

Yeah coming from the guy who believes every rumor around...

TrendyGamers4368d ago

I still expect a $300 price tag.

Summons754368d ago

yeah, 300 would be perfect but 350 would still be fair considering what they are promising.

DNAbro4368d ago

hopefully it will come bundled with a game, then it's perfectly resonable

Summons754368d ago

well considering the wii did, even though it was only wii sports for most of the time and now New super mario bros....I think it makes sense they will at least give something with it

SovereignSnaKe4368d ago

Huh, I was really expecting $299... Give em 6 months (3DS).. Ahhh I kid Nintendo!, I love my 3DS! ^_^

--Onilink--4368d ago

well, this is hardly any confirmation at all, but this is the price im expecting. Maybe even $400 if the specs are even higher, but i doubt Nintendo would release a console with such a big price tag

The amount of quality games you get with the service is insane. Especially on Xbox, where there's a bunch of past gen titles. Everything there for you to download. No need to stream, unless you want to. Definitely the best gaming service on the market; especially for a console gamer.

As a PC guy, I'll happily admit that. I wish they found a way to have access to the 360/original Xbox titles without streaming, but it is what it is.

EnViiDisnuCCa871d ago

I brought a whole year n only spent 100 dollars

Brazz871d ago

"only" $100... many are still paying 2$/month and enjoying gamepass. Atm, 100$/year is a bad deal, imho.

GoodGuy09871d ago

@Brazz
I mean it depends. New, fairly new, and ofc all of mcsfts first party AAA games make it on gamepass. Really though you should just buy a single month for specific games you want to play and then once your done with those games, go ahead and cancel.

dantesparda871d ago

I love how people talk about how great Game pass is when its $180 a yr (which is the one I'd be interested in) or $120 a yr for it with XBL (WHICH IT NEEDS!) was is not cheap!j. When I was averaging like $30 a yr for XBL. And I also dont like how the games are rotated out.

tbagmonster871d ago

look for deals, they are out there, you dont have to pay the full 180, im set for 4 years with ultimate for that price basically. its a steal, if they release 4 good exclsuives a year it more then pays for it and everything else is a icing on the cake and theres a lot to play with, over 350 games to choose from

dbcoops871d ago

Whats really funny is how "good" it supposedly is yet all you ever hear people say is that they'll repeatedly cancel and re-sub later if something they like comes a long. Doesn't sound like that great of a service if you're frequently canceling and re-subbing. Also trying to convince people they're going to get to do that for a dollar forever is ridiculous.

MadLad871d ago

@dbcoops

That's what happens when you believe all the internet try hards and associate that with an entire install base.

If you believed everything people said on the internet, half of the people here on N4G would all have a series X/PS5 since launch, and are running 3080ti on their PC.

At the end of the day, if you need to create a new gmail account every month just to circumvent a $10 - 15 monthly fee for new games, you probably shouldn't be gaming. I'm going to assume that's a vast minority though. Like Netflix I'm sure the majority just subscribe and let it do its thing.

To address the narrative you're trying to create though, people circumventing the system says nothing about the quality of the system. It just shows you how cheap people can be, if anything. Though, again, I think you're attributing the actions of a minority to the whole.

MadLad871d ago

Xbox Live didn't give you day one 1st party releases. Same as 3rd party games, as well as those that released just a few months prior.
It also didn't allow you to stream games on almost anything with an internet connection.

There's a bit of a difference there.

hollabox871d ago

You're a fool if you're paying $180 a year. I've routinely gotten 3 months XBOX Ultimate for $20-30. It just depends on the time or major titles releases. I have almost 3 years worth and I don't think I've spent more than $200. I'm good until August of 2024 on both PC and Xbox. Last year CD Keys were selling 3 months of Ultimate for $20 each. The 1 month was under $10 so I snagged a few of those. All said and done I added over two years in addition to my 1 year after I converted Xbox Live Gold to Game Pass.

CaptainHenry916871d ago

You can even use gamepass on the Ipad

roadkillers871d ago

Can you still get the three years for $181?

NotoriousWhiz871d ago

Probably but I can't confirm. I've just being doing yearly for $75. My year is up in March so I'll find out for sure around then.

Highrevz871d ago

Yes the conversion is still working. I wouldn’t be surprised if you could get 3 years for less then $181.

Buying gold and converting with 1 month GPU is still the cheapest way but for people looking to extend current subscriptions then $25 for 3 months is a good price.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH871d ago

Bought 6months worth today from GameStop at this price
