Poll :: Will you buy Nintendo Wii U at launch?

Of course I will! Surely I'll be making more money sometime between now and launch next year. Day one for me.

You bet yer buns.

I'll wait in line with you streex. But I think I'll be passing. With my current financial situation Im going to wait out any future console launches.

Oh Triz. You're financial situation can't be worse than mine! Make that purchase!!!

For me no because I don't have enough money for it in anyway. But for my brother, surpisingly he said yes! WTF?! scratch

Are you talking about Ian, NF?

Yes! Yes!

We'll see. I need to know more- especially the price. I can't afford to be gouged again. If the 3DS had been $170 at launch, I'd have enough left over for Wii-U. (Certainly, I'd have enough for a third 3DS!) I've seen speculation as high as $400. Obviously, that can't be relied upon, but I still have only so much disposable income- even for Nintendo.

I doubt $400 is where it will be. $350 tops IMO.

Nintendo will be foolish to price it at 350. anything higher than $300 is destined to fail.

I agree. I'm just saying... if it was $350.... I wouldn't be too surprised. :\

With Nintendo thinking that the 3DS price is a big part of the selling problem, I also think they'll launch the Wii U at a bottom barrel price of $300. I'm wondering if they'll be able to make a profit from launch per console like they usually do. It seems the controller alone will be around $100, leaving the contents of the console to be less or at $200.

That would make sense, since it is only a little more powerful than current gen stuff.

I completely agree, Triz. I'd be very reluctant even at $300.
