There are lots of people complaining about Wii U's price and said why people should buy PS Vita instead because it's cheaper and better deal than Wii U xD

I personally surprised that the premium pack is only $428 in Australia, I thought it would be at least $450-550 lol...

By the way, I am getting the premium pack at launch day ^^

I think its pretty obvious that the Wii U can run graphics better than current-gen as it has newer shaders (lighting and shadows hugely improved), GPGPU (better physics/post processing) and a ton of RAM (higher resolution textures, less texture pop up). Oh and that is all while outputting an extra FWVGA framebuffer to the gamepad.

Just look at ZombiU, there is some stuff going on there with lighting and post processing that I do not believe PS3 or Xbox 360 can do.

Then there is the cost of the gamepad itself, which people seem to be forgetting.

Yep, the gamepad takes more than you expect from Wii U's power.

Talking PS360 ports here:

Slightly better graphics while having a gamepad with 3D renders on it (like cod black ops 2) is going to take some power.

This is why wii u is too expensive ...
this is obviously a joke trolling people who call Wii U expensive

And just like that, the trolls have suddenly disappeared. Well done, lad!
