Rumor: Wii U has $180 worth of Parts... meaning it will retail at $300 or more?

[JonathanD]

if I can choose only one, I'll go with the most powerful one.
Which obviously won't be this one.

Odds are then you would also be getting the most expensive one too, in todays economy that could be a bad decision as most people will be getting what they can afford.

it depends, sure the wii was the cheapest out of the 3 systems this gen, and was the reason it did sell so many units but because it was cheap its specs suffered and so did its games, after a few years of the wii been released it looked terrible.

sure MS/SONYS next system wont be as cheap as nintendo's but people dont realise is that MS/SONY arent just beefin up the 360/PS3 a little and re-releasing a cheap to produce console, MS/SONY actually release a new system really takes gaming to a whole new level, not realy on a gimmick controller aka the wiimote and now the iFAD controller.

its already showing the wii-u is going to get games ported that we have already played that the wii didnt get thanks to nintendo's cheapness, so while nintendo gamers are finaly getting to enjoy these great games (if they get ported) that nintendo failed to get, MS/SONY gamers will be enjoying totally new games that devs will take to new limits thanks to offering more resources and yet again give or take a year or two (just like the wii) nintendo will be left behind as usual when it comes to its games and poor nintendo fans will likely have to put up with a watered down version or wait for nintendos next revamp lastgen console.

dont get me wrong, id love to buy the wii-u but it must have great games, im sick of buying nintendo systems to find its more for children the 3DS is a total let down and like every other nintendo console (other than n64) so this time i will wait a year or two to see if what i think is wrong i do hope nintendo will not only offer last gen ports and children games and actually start offering more for everyone because MS/SONY get it spot on, they offer games and cover for all ages yet nintendo never (rarly) do.

ohh and its funny i submitted a news article and love the way it didnt get put on, i guess the mods or admins that love nintendo dont like to post news thats against what they want for nintendo, yet love to when its ms/sony.

yes, your news post was discussed and as far as i know its in the queue to be posted however i cant read the actual content and often that is the final deciding factor, a straight cut and past wont get posted (as another member must have discovered by now) although to be fair it was originally queued on the 2nd april by someone else at that time it was decided not to proceed with that particular news item however when you posted it again on the 4th, as far as i know it is still in the queue

RKLS0000006102 Wii U Falls Short from Diztructor FINAL

although to be fair the queue is still massive, i'm sure it will make it eventually, although of course you should be aware that around the web this story was widely laughed at on multiple websites.

yup laughed at by the fans that dont like to hear anything negative about nintendo, id assume youd be number one to laugh at this, yet is first to jump on the band wagon if it was Microsof or Sony.

ohh lets not forget how nintendo still yet has to give the console specs, which dont you find rather strange how theyre keeping it hush hush and its due to release end of this year.... ever wondered the reason they still have to comment/confirm the actuall specs is because people will find that it is in fact just a revamp this gen system and could put gamers off other than the nintedno fanboys because no matter what they still will love nintendo as if theyre the best thing since sliced bread and even fail to accept that nintedno is no longer able to be the #1 house hold console or even keep up like they used to when it was back in the sega days.

Nintendo has refused to be drawn into a debate about the power of Wii U, insisting that the experience of playing games is more important than processing power.

no nintendo will not give gamers any spec information because theyll find out that theyre going to be buying yet again another last gen system which you can pick a 360/PS3 up for less.

nintendo allways go on about experience playing games, yet the wiimote failed to offer anything that they first claimed the wiimote experience to be, you could tie the wiimote to your dog and the wii would be none the wiser.

what nintendo do not grasp is that they focus too much on a fad controller and forget about the actuall games, nintendo simply re release recylced mario/zelda games over and over again, while MS/SONY are the consoles that get far better games.

well i guess it depends on who you choose to believe, an anonymous source who says you should use a ps3 / vita combination or people like that well known nintendo fanboy mark reign who said “It will do things current HD consoles simply cant do its going to be a powerful box.”

and i'm sorry but no matter how many times you say the same rubbish about nintendo only releasing the same game over and over its not going to become true.

not true?? erm:
Mario
Mario Kart
Mario Party
Mario Tennis

infact Mario "insert activity"

then zelda, pokemon.... now your telling me that this isnt all nintendo keep releasing on their systems, then take the 3rd party games which nintendo lack compared to MS/SONY which nintendo are a generation behind offering these games.

games that sell well get sequels what an astounding revelation, the only real difference being that if a nintendo game sells well they dont dump out more of the same every year but make a whole new game based around little more than the same characters / situations.

i do kind of see your point with the minigames based mario part series but at least the minigames change and even the play mechanics get changed sometimes however i've yet to see a disaster day of crisis sequel (i'd love to see one) because that didnt sell well, probably worth pointing out too that these games you go on about span (in some cases) the entire post crash videogames era whereas games like rock band, guitar hero and call of duty have had more versions in a couple of generations.

yes but you take COD games for example each game has had a completely different story, mario is still the same old story, bowser kidnaps princess mario rescues even zelda is the same thing over n over and these are the only games nintendo release.

the other games nintendo dont get (well now the wii u is but a generation too late) and this is why i get bored of nintendo consoles because MS/SONY offer the type of games i want to buy and play and nintendo have very few.

and can see the exact same thing that happend on the Cube and the Wii happening again on the wii u, just because it has a iFAD controller isnt going to change anything, if anything its going to incourage game devs to do the same repetetive thing they did on the Wii, on the Wii u using the iFAD controller like they have with the DS

[trancehead]

how can i not compare?? that he moaned his 16GB was expensive then i stated that i got a 32GB for a couple of quid extra, assuming his store would charge sh1t loads.

love the idiot phrase yet you make such pointless BS about having to work more hours to be able to affored things.... this is life matey if you want the good things in life you have to work for it, but just because you work more hours it doesnt make the cost of things go up lol

oh my god, you're a mega twit.
let me spell it out
dollars is not equal to pounds.....never has been
if he had said 16GB cost him 50 pesos, would he still be getting *****?
looking at 50 dollars for 16GB
and your 50 pound for 32GB
hes actually paying 30 pound, which goes by the normal price structure

and when these guys bring consoles to other countries, average hourly wage is a big deciding factor on final price
when PS3 first come out, it was 600 in us and 1000 in australia, because australia has a higher average hourly wage

Sure Microsoft and Sony will release a 600$ console next gen (Don't hold your breath.) but after going from #1 to #3 in a 3 way race I doubt even Sony is dumb enough to release some ultra high spec machine.

I still wonder where this awesome hardware is coming from that will be so much better then the Wii-U. With relation to chips, I am fully aware of IBM's chip offerings and even knew about Cell long before the PS3 launched. So... yeah really where are these chips coming from?
I don't buy the whole AMD rumor for the PS4 and if it is true the Wii-U will end up being more powerful then the PS4, of course Sony does have a bad habit of picking weird chips to put in its systems so maybe there is a grain of truth to it.

Also you might think twice about Sony releasing any high end hardware, they are predicting over 6 billion in losses for 2011-2012 so they are looking to cut costs and possibly jobs, the last thing Sony wants to do is take another few billion loss on a console that may or may not ever make a profit.

I am still predicting that this next gen will be much much closer in power then the last. Mark my words if your looking for Microsoft and Sony to "beat" the Wii-U in power, you will find yourself searching for the most minute differences...

Like those dumb video's that show the difference between Xbox 360 games and the PS3 version. I suspect you will be posting video's just like those in time. *bookmarks this post for future use*

wait till you see this weeks sales figures because i think those losses are going up.

here is a hint, the latest vita sales figures share a great similarity with a very famous ship of 100 years ago this week

I checked a few UK online retailers and they don't seem to carry the 32gb, the one place where I found them was amazon's UK site... and the price was $74.95... oh wait, allow me to correct that £74.95; although this seems like vultures that know there are idiots like retroboy out there who will pay anything for something that has a sony logo on it. Oh and by the way, with what I can buy 1 32gb vita card here in the states, I can buy 3 32gb minisds and still have enough money to pay a homeless guy to beat retardboy with a wiimote, plus buy a needy kid a present... sure the failed abortion deserves a beating, but my karma would still take a hit, gotta cleanse it somehow.

i wasnt aware that the 32gb vita card was even on sale in the eu, i do recall sony announcing it would not be although they may have since released it.
