They have to get the inital price right for the comsumer to of cause. I think the days of being able to charge £400 for a new console are gone.

If the new Wii U will be on par with the 360 & PS3 how are they going to price it seeing as a basic 360 & PS3 will be about the £100 each for a new 1 by summer 2012 to get the last sales value before developing the next generation?.

The Wii U would probably have to be sold for no more that £250 if even that much as any more and they risk trying to sell a similar capable console to whats already out for more than 250% the asking price of the other consoles. Of cause they could sell at a big loss for the first 12 months untill production costs drop a lot it it does take off and then make the money back in the second year with higher sales and software. So for me the pricing will be as interesting as how the console will feel once bought.
