How much are you willing to pay for WiiU AND what do you think it's launch price will be?

I'm willing to pay $150 based on what I know now or $200 if things improve. I think it will launch for $300 ($299.99) although it's possible there may be a stripped down version for $250 and a bundle for $350.

I'm willing to pay $400 for it, though I believe that it will launch at $300.

I expect anything between 300-400. I think thats fair considering just the capabilities we know about, not to mention features they have not even revealed yet. Also definitely camping out for a day 1 system.

I'm not willing to pay more than $250 at this point. I expect it to launch at $300-350.

Amazing how all these never before seen TC's appear when it's something WiiU related (especially when it's something they can slickly bash it for without being penalized in the WiiU forum)

Anyway on topic, I'd pay $350 for it. Don't know enough as of yet to go any higher but I do know it won't break within the first month due to overheating or malfunction. $299 may be the launch price though.

I saw game journalists acting like the WiiU will be expensive but then Iwata stating how they learned from 3DS launch price situation. Journalists act like it's going to be expensive but that really doesn't make sense given that Nintendo has always launched at a more mass-consumer price and the 3DS. Thus, I wanted to see what actual gamers were willing to pay based on what we currently know and what they think re launch price.

I suspect that the Wii U would be around the $300 mark. Anything more than that, and Nintendo will be taking a pretty big gamble on the system's mass market appeal in the same vein they did with the 3DS, even if they claim that they've "learned from its mistakes."

Personally speaking, though, I can't say that the Wii U has shown me anything to make a $300 investment for at the moment. Sure I would like to play the new Mario and Pikmin, but I'm in no rush to play them, especially given Nintendo's method of giving their first party titles a pretty healthy shelf life. Beyond that, I can just stick with the console(s) I have to get a fix of the other games the Wii U will offer, with 99%, nay, 100% of those games not appealing to me to begin with. I probably won't bite on the system until it reaches the lower $200 mark, assuming that by that time, the system's library will have obtained enough titles to make the thought of owning a Wii U pretty appealing to me.

After demoing the WiiU today, I raise my price up to $450. That system is great. Visuals were stunning in games like Batman Arkham City and Pikmin. Project P-100 was GREAT!!! A must buy for me. New Super Mario Bros was amazing as usual. Controller felt GREAT! I Loved the implementation of the touchpad features and will be preordering this as soon as the preorders are available.

Sounds pretty good. Was skeptical about the controller but by the sound of it it seems like it works.

Maybe willing to pay a max of £250. Would be great if it was around £200. I'll most likely not buy it at launch because of the current lineup doesn't interest me as much. Hopefully the games that are released later on should reel me in.

Because Pikmin 3 is announced for a launch window release, I'm easily prepared to pay at least $400, but I believe it will be $300.

US$600 for the console and US$60 for each game. I don't see it being cheap.

That would make Nintendo fail hard . Wii sales dropped off the charts. 3ds is saling well but they need the wiiu to sale. Nintendo would be insane to sale it at 600 dollars.

I'm willing to pay $300 at most. If it's more than $300 I won't be getting it until much later.
