    I think the price is decent for a new console.

    What do you guys think about the Wii U price ?

    I s'pose these will be the prices for UK/EU as usual pricier:
    UK - £250
    EU - 270€ to 300€

    The UK/EU prices of consoles are always more expensive than at US. I don't plan on buying Wii U, but I'm definitely going to keep up with its games, news, updates and whatnot. Subscribed to Nintendo on YouTube for Wii U updates! =)

    I would agree if it retailed around the £180-200 price point i think that would a decent price, especially when you factor in the tablet like controller which is probably where the majority of the cost is going to.

    If the price is really around £190, then i'm getting it. If it's like £300, then i won't . Then i will buy the OUYA.

    You guys know how the UK/EU prices are for launch consoles so there's no tryin' to be delusional.

    Thats true i admit, however look at the 3DS. That has a massive price drop soon after launch, i dont expect it to be that cheap however it would be a big plus.

    According to Gamekings.tv the Wii U will cost around 349 euro.
    No WiiU for me. I'll just wait for the first price drop.

    The Wii U is not on my gaming list. I plan on buying the OUYA then the new Xbox and that will be all for this generation.

    I don't know about purchasing next gen consoles they don't seem to have anything appealing to me at the moment, as it seems what I wanted was done this gen.

    - Great HD graphics
    - Excellent online community
    - Enrmous variety of games (old + new + indie)

    Plus if Sony's gonna be this damn lazy with "PlayStation 4" I wouldn't bother wasting time around with them.
