But remember Mr. Iwata said about 2,000 yen or something which is like 279.

When did he say that?

[Bane]

Um I don't recall Iwata ever saying that.

[GeneralCraezy]

I'm sure he said it was gonna be affordable though?

Nope... The only thing he has said is that it's not going to be priced like the wii

[GeneralCraezy]

how was the wii priced?

[HaoSenVastForest]

Well I could guess that Nintendo is not going to make this as affordable as we think because that Street Demo, well if it isn't fake then the production is going to be much bigger and then on top of that you have shipping prices.

how was the wii priced?

$249.99 USD and CAD on launch date. He said it won't launch at the same price as the wii and it won't be cheap. I'm going with $350+

When did he say that?

Sorry, he said more than 250 dollars in english. In japanese he said like 2,000 yen or something.

Notes:
Nintendo says more than 250$
It will not be cheap
Nintendo is not usually very expensive

I expect about 320$
Really though I think it will be 300-379
Cheapest Price that would shock us all is 279$ but I doubt it

Is it 20,000 yen? Because 2,000 yen is 25 dollars.

Ok, thank you it is 20,000 yen, I don't know japanese money and I did not want to look it up.

lol you lazy poo

you know its really annoying having to convert money

So $320 is about... £200... Well the 3DS at launch was £220 and I think the Wii U will be more than that... actually, maybe it'll be about the same?

Yes, exactly. In U.S I think it will be that price will be 320$ considering our economy.

"It's [Wii U] not going to be cheap" - Satoru Iwata

I'm not kidding, that's a direct quote out of his own mouth...

[Soul]

The U.S elects a new president every 4 years. Barack Obama was elected in 2008 and he wants to run again for president. Not many people want to vote for him again, though. 2008+0004=2012 2012=election year

[GeneralCraezy]

It'll be awesome if they give a 50% discount to 3DS ambassadors XD
