If they don't profit from it.

And they may elect not to.

A $299 price tag will eliminate any and all barrier to entry.

For a games platform such as the Wii U, which looks poised to create strong software tie-in, it won't matter.

Nintendo knows that need to offer lots of power for a low price, like they did with the 3DS.  they may not profit for a year on the hardware, but subsequent years will be different.

It's hard to see Nintendo missing out on profit from it's hardware, but they may do so if they feel they havent' generated a strong enough marketing "buzz"

$349 seems like a good place to start.

Price it too low and people think of it as "cheap" in both positive and negative connotations.

Price it too high and it just won't sell (PS3 anyone?). but it there is one thing the previosu generation has taught us, it is that console prices go up every generation and people are willing to pay more to get more.

The original Wii with dirt cheap tech started out at $249.  The much more ambitious and forward looking Wii U starting out at $349 is a great bargain for a system of this power level and capabilities.

The "proper" Xbox 360, without motion controls or a screen enabled GamePad, cost $399 to purchase at launch.

Even the bare bones, no hard drive, crippled version was $299.

So a next generation system, in 2012, launching at $349 with next level power, a Gamepad with relatively large additional screen and free online capabilities is quite the bargain. Normally, I would have expected a $399 price tag, but Nintendo is wanting to deliver high end power at an affordable price.  This is a long way from 2005 and $349 is affordable.  Microsoft and Sony provably won't be under that price either.  And a year or two down the road, I can see a price drop to $299 in order to combat the new console launches.

Again, Nintendo CAN release at $299 to ensure a quick install base and entrench the system.  but they won't profit on the hardware for about a year if they do so.  And that is something they've only changed stance on once.  If they can, I would love to see it.  just not expecting it. it's not like they haven't earned their money here.

well they have done a werid number like $170 for the 3DS so maybe $325

wow this topic is old o.o

I think $349 will be the minimum, considering the system power, the gamepad, and the R&D that went into it.

That's a great deal for this console. It's high end equipment. And $350 is affordable. Nintendo "could" possibly sell it at $299 if they made zero profit or even took a loss. $349 buys a great Christmas gift.

I'm 75% sure it'll be $300. it feels like the right number to sell it for.

i nhave two lists. one is a fanboy wishlist and the other which is closest guessing to whose appearing that i wanna see.
Silver the hedgehog,
Yuri Yowell from Tales of Vesperia

the possible ones are
Neku from The world ends with you
Sora from Kingdom Hearts
PacMan from well Pacman
Klonoa from Klonoa
Floyd from Tales of Symphonia
Rayman from Rayman
Zero from Megaman X
Megaman SF from the Megaman Starforce Series

high chance these guys will appear
Prince Fluff from Kirby's Epic Yarn
Dixie Kong from DKC2
Mangus from Kid Icarus Uprising
Megaman

I'm going to cheat and say the
Wii U mainly cuz it looks really promising.
favorite handheld is the 3DS. the graphics are good enough to not look horrible and the game library is steller.

First rule of thumb. How long have you owned this drive? What im about to tell you voids warranties since you need ro open the enclosure. This is more or less a last attempt. This makes the drive read as a primary master wjich disables spin down on most drives

On a harddrive by where the sata connections are there is a little 4 to 8 prong selector

http://www.google.co...biw=360&bih=615

the drive should show u what the settings are sometimes its printed directly on the circuit board. it needs to be set to master most or the time in externals there isnt a pin connector with the drive which makes it defalt to cable select in which we dont want.

Sorry about not direct linking the picture im on a cell phone typing this

Im dealing with the same issue as well and i just got mine two days ago from amazon. its a buffalo Ministation 550GB USB 2.0 how am i supposed to access the power saving feature. am i supposed to open it manually

There's this one very vocal section of Retro Sonic fans who have a deep seething hate for the Adventure series and I know they'll get riled up if it ever gets a true successor.

Regardless, I'm sure it'll be great. Generations was brilliant and I've heard good things about Colours. If the new game has a Chao garden then Sega already has my money.

Generations wasn't a huge leap but a step closer to a perfect game the major flaws of the game is the lack of story and it was very very short but on the plus side the level design is perfect.
Colors is my favorite sonic game and most people agree its better then adventure two despite its flaws as well. one is the game is mostly 2.5 D and the controls is not that good but not broken. the plus is that the voices are good and story is good and the dialouge is excellent.

Knuckles rap songs? Correct me if I'm wrong, but those haven't been around since Adventure 2, right?

Could my dream of Sonic Adventure 3, or at least something like it, finally be coming true?

If it is i'm willing to bet Sonic fans will be at war saying
Side A: Ooh damn it SEGA they're gonna ruin another great game
Side B: No way this is gonna be the greatest sonic game ever!

So, apparently the guy who made the rap songs for Knuckles commented on his videos in Youtube said he and SEGA are working on a new Sonic Project. And hearing that reminds me of this rumor about the next sonic guy from the guy who said he's from SEGA that the next sonic is gonna be a mixture of Adventure and Unleashed. which is amazing since if its not being announced now then it must be a bigger game then colors and unleashed meaning it's gonna be a long game :3

Ditto, Nintendo could even go to Nvidia and get a 6 year old graphics card that's better than the 360s. What I'm talking about is the Wii U getting downscaled Unreal 4 games, still looking pretty, just with minor differences like not having anti aliasing and running at 720p at 30fps

i think the Wii U might have difficulty on that as the Wii U might not be powerful to display something like that while having the GamePad screen on. they have just have the Wii U Pro for Unreal Engine 4 games while other games on Unreal Engine 3 can use the gamepad and be even more fun.

do not believe anyone who says it's weaker then the 360 or PS3. Because it is a complete lie. Nintendo would actually have to put effort and time to actually make it weaker then them. The Wii U is bult after the systems came out. which means they're using the graphic chips in that year meanwhie the wii U hasn't been released yet is using the graphics chips after them and might be using the ones being made now. which means the chips have drastically improved.

It funny how they're trying to lie to everyone by on and on telling the public the Wii U isin't powerful compared to the 360. so people like Nintendo and me and others can just lean back and shake our heads in shame at them and just laugh at them on how wrong they are when the console comes out with games that prove them...wait for it.
WRONG!!!!

I'll move it back and forth depends if my mom and dad care to play with me and my bro and sis.

How did no one thought of using the browser for FB or Twitter. *Facepalm*

Come one Come all! come vote for the SSB4 so maybe someone can do what fans did for Skull Kid and  let our voices be heard

If you do not see a character you like,you can post it. If ople agree then ill take out a character that has the least amounts of votes and replace them.
Reminder: The character should have at least some abilities to defend themselves and be at leat on a Nintendo console

BTW I just saw Shulk, and he belongs in the first party section, not the 3rd party section.

He's First Party? What do you man? is XenoBlade a Nintendo Franchise?

The leaked specs are stating it's 6x more powerful than the Xbox 360, that's 2-4x more powerful than the Wii U.

then again, perhaps it was leaked on purpose to scare the competition. Remember how Nintendo let out about the Heart Sensor on purpose to trick the people who usually copy them. Sadly Ubisoft took the bait.

I'm sorry its a Vitality Sensor, here's a video about it shown on E3 2009 Apparenty it was just a trick to fool around with the companies that copy Nintnedo such as Sony.

i highly doubt that

well theres no other reason but that seeing as they never made a game based around it, and i never seen it in stores. nor any advertisements or news about it.

I'm going to take a while assumption and say that ech of the three consoles are gonna be very different in terms of each other making eaone one unique and have their own identidy. this is where i think the multiplatform games are gonna be rare as each system has their own gimmick.

The Wii U will focus on connectivity and classic gameplay mixed with new ways to play such as touch screen gyroscope and such. while the games wont be focused on graphics like the others, there will be more ideas of gameplay and content due to Nintendo being more open in terms of ideas like for ex. Achievements are optional to the developers instead of being a requirement. Third parties will still be able to have their games look just as good as the other ports since the Wii U will be just as powerful as any other console it's just that its not important to them.

The PS4 will have no gimmicks and solely be marketed as a Graphics machine. Where all their games are like Final Fantasy CGI movie. When i heard that theyre only cared about being the best i instantly thought that they were gonna try to make the most powerfulest console. meaning the games will have more detail in the background and such and that gameplay is the last thing they are gonna be working on. which is sad, but i guess graphics whore are gonna be pleased. And well cool, we have the fun console, now we have a console that makes beautiful settings and scenery.

The Xbox 720 will be based around the Kinect 2.0 and Virtual Reality like the Virtual Boy but done right. meaning futuristic googles, you need a large space and with the kinect working too you have to move around or use body language which is very gimmicky and its really a mixed bag.

Well what the last rewards guys?  Posters that aren't in stores and cards that are designed to look cool. wow you guys are picky. I feel like I'm at Sonic Retro.

This is definately a huge test for nintendo. If they do have online play for both games and others then they are serious about trying to get hardcore gamers back becuase hardcore gamers love co-op and competition, if they dont. Then it means that they're relying on 3rd party support to satify the hardcore gamers while they make games for fans and casual gamers.
