"I always prefer lower pricing, so I can't say I'm happy. I'm never happy when the machines are expensive. What we have to do there is remember that compared to an iPad, it's cheap. With what it brings [to the gaming table] it's cheap. But I hope they'll be able to drop their price in time." - CEO Yves Guillemot

He'll get his wish in about 4 years

Doesn't he realise it's being sold at a loss? No way there will be a price drop any time soon.

Huh, an entire interview, six days before the new console launch, and the line he cherry picks for the preview headline out of everything he talked about, was THAT?

And then the entire page is plastered with playstation allstar battle advertisements and banners.

hmm.

Meanwhile doritogate continues to rage.

Is the Wii U that weak?

We will find out on the next episode of Dragonball!

I don't know - I think its being taken out of context - Yves has been one of the biggest proponents of the Wii U - and while he may not be a system designer and in the know on what it costs to manufacture a console..he must know...the Wii U is still cheaper than most people anticipated.

I've actually been watching Dragon Ball recently, and I read that perfectly in the narrator's voice.

In a market filled with overpriced tablets, I think the Wii U is pretty cheap for what you're getting.

I agree 100%, any cheaper might be too much of a hit for them. We're getting a lot for the money, price is fair.

Especially since Nintendo is taking a loss with the Wii U at launch.
