will the wii u cost more than 500$?

Question

I was thinking of buying a ps vita and 3ds xl(i gave my wi fi vita to my cousin and 3ds is not turning on ). But, wii u should be an excellent home console. I already have a ps3 and Wii. I love my wii and ps3. Wii U's hardware aren't better than ps3. Its just the gamepad, new nintendo games like mario that i want. But, if wii u will cost more than 500 $. I wont be able to buy ps vita 3g and 3ds xl. Also, I have to but wikipad and iphone 5.

moreover, wii u is just like wii and ps3 games combine along with a new kind of controller.

Answer 1

No.



Edit: from internet source;

The Nintendo Wii U will launch in the US on Sunday, November 18, Nintendo America president and CEO Reggie Fils-Aime revealed in a New York City press conference this morning. It'll arrive in Europe on November 30, though no price was given for Europe. Like its Japanese release,the console comes in two varieties: a base level bundle in white with just 8GB of internal memory for $300 and a premium bundle in black with 32GB of internal memory for $350. Each version contains the console itself, a WiiPad, a charging stand, a play stand, and a stand for the console. The premium version, however, adds a subscription to Nintendo's Premium Network, which offers various rewards for digital purchases, it also gets a full 32GB of internal memory, which is a pretty major step up over the 8GB model. It's hard to imagine either having enough internal storage compared with current-gen consoles, but the Wii U's memory is expandable via USB. Fils-Aime also said that Wii remotes are getting rebranded for the Wii U, and will be available in retail shops shortly.



So, apparently, the $350 is much, much more better than the $300. Why is Nintendo selling a 8gb for $300 and a 32gb with extra goodies for fifty dollars more is beyond me.

Answer 2

At the most the console will cost you 350 dollars but the games aren't cheap so depending how many games and side extras it could cost you over $500.

Answer 3

Most definately not, the file that was leaked by Microsoft about the Xbox 720 said it would only cost around $299

Answer 4

The basic pack is $299.99 and the other one is $349.99
