That would be $250.

Hey, thats not too bad

[HaoSenVastForest]

WHAT THE HELL?
IS AMERICA REALLY SWIMMING IN THIS MUCH **** RIGHT NOW?!

Nah, I refuse to believe. They still pay 3DS games for 40 while I get stuck with 60-70!

Yeah we arent having too much fun here. Actually I was doing better in China but oh well. It is getting better though. 2008 was when it got really bad though and it is starting to get allot better. But 20% of all American's are living in poverty (Dont know if this is a good number or a bad one but it doesnt sound very great)

Thats a fifth of americans O_O thats... every five people you see on the street, one of them is living in poverty (statistically speaking)

[Auzzie Wingman]

Dude, all I'm trying to say is, the number will always be higher in Australia, in comparison to the number in US Dollars.

So if the Australian price is $598.

Then the American price will be less. The only way that would change is if I got a time machine and rigged everything in my favour.

Exactly! I am glad you know your fractions! And that is exactly what is happening!

America is Number 1!!!!!!!! The US poverty rate is 15%, the poverty rate in China is between 16-36%, and the UK has a poverty of 17.1-22.2%

I don't quite see what poverty has to do with this...Wii U will be a premium product, and won't really be marketed to new buyers or lower income families indefinitely. There is already a core audience of gamers who would take the step up, whether you own a Wii, PC, PS3 (XBox gamers...?!) or a family member that has become familiar with Nintendo. Just seems like that way to me

Maybe someone could cough up the link where Reggie explains about target audience for Wii U? No matter what the conversion costs are from Asia to the west, it will be at a price that will most likely be steep against casual gaming in each region.

There are more people living in america, so technically, you have more people living in poverty than us

Took some digging, but I found it!

Nice one man! Thanks, there are also a few other posts that address the same queries Reggie and Iwata were pressed about.

I've been doing some thinking, and I believe that there's a chance that we'll be seeing two different Wii U bundles in stores. One will come with one controller, and the other would come with 2 controllers. The one controller bundle would likely cost from $299.99-349.99 USD, and the two controller bundle will cost from $349.99-399.99 USD.

I agree with Andy with the 2 bundles. However if they do that it will probably be 1 with the Umote and 1 with the Umote+Wii Remote Plus

It could be either I like this idea though

Or how about the second one having 2 Umotes AND a Wii Remote Plus?

[Soul]

They should have a bundle with the Classic Controller Pro.

How would that work :S You could just use the Utab (awesome name for it btw whoever came up with that)

[Bane]

Yeah tbh a CCP isn't really necessary for Wii U, since it has all those inputs and more.

[Tekno]

From what I've read, the average guess for all the people wondering about the price is actually 300-450$ . Meh, thats probably it, Nintendo does care about their customers, they aren't selfish. *Cough*Like sony or microsoft with their prices way over*Cough Cough*.

but it won't really matter to me. I'm buying it no matter what it costs. Theres just to much to it to ignore.

I'm Canadian. -v-"

Yes it is. My friends hate using the Wiimote and I will not buy 4 upads. So my 3 friends will use CCPS and I will use the Upad. They should make a new CCP though. Because I don't want to connect it to the Wiimote and it's not wireless.
