Very interesting. It are pictures from a survey and also includes concept art that was used for the trailer.

300 would be crazy good. But I expect 350. I mean (if rumors are true) a 300 dollar console that run Unreal4, tuouchscreen controller, and I'm sure a built in gaming experience a la wiisports.... I'm SOLD! This thing would really sell if it showing tru next gen graphics at E3.

300 for a next gen control that could run UE4 and has a tablet controller seems a bit unbelievable. 350 is still more likely but for 300 it's launchbuy.

Remember it's just a survey. If the results were extremely positive, it might get more expensive.

Definitely not, mate. If it were NZ currency I'd be singing 'Waltzing Matilda' until the cows come home.

I assume this will be in US Dollars so for Australia it would be double that amount and for you Kiwi's it would probably be a double and a half more.

I wasn't meaning $300 NZ dollars, if it was 300... * Takes of clothes and runs down street screaming "Invisible Unicorns... EVERYWHERE!!!" *

But anyway, double and a half? O.o
If i can count properly, you mean $750? D:

Last time I went there everything seemed 0.5x more pricy than here in Australia.

Yea i agree with most of the people here it will likely be priced around $350. Im actually hoping it is as that will be a good indication that it can easily blow away the previous generation.

I would no doubt buy it for $300.
I have been predicting it to be $350, but $300 is fine.

That seems a bit to much. $300 is really good, $350 is good and $400 is bad.

Sorry to say but the current price running is $598.00

Im sorry but i think you are a little bit sorta kinda super alot wrong there lol

But we only paid $250 for the 3DS, so odds are it may just be £250 even if it is just $300 here (though my personal bet is on $350).

in Europe the 3ds was, VERY overpriced at launch. it was much less in other countries at the start before the price drop. now its gone right down, since not many people in the uk are buying it. I expect the wii u to be slightly more priced in Europe due to it allways being that way, but not as much as he 3ds was.

current prediction on wii u price at the moment $350

Did you see what some folks done been saying about the euro?
It's so much stronger than the yen and dollar that they think the pricing structure could be even worse than usual, ie 30,000 yen = 350 usd = 400 euro = 300 gbp
I'm out if they do that. I've almost had it with the 1usd=1eur unicorn tongue, to go further than that would be it for me.

All we really know it'll be more than $250 since that was the 3DS (and the Wii?) launch price. I believe it'll be around $350, but $300 would be a pleasant surprise.
