Fixed that for yah.
I remember HipHopGamer saying the Wii U version of Blacklist would look like the Xbox version of Chaos Theory and the PS3/360 version would look like the PS2 version of it so maybe for now.
Fixed that for yah.
I know several that care about Blu-ray and rent many of them from Redbox. So, where does that leave us?
With the dinosaurs.
Not going to buy something that should be built into the console.
Will we be singing this same tune next year when ps420 launches at $399+?This is a good point. The same way Vita's lineup being better than the 3DS's launch doesn't mean crap when it's competing against other platforms. I think 299 is decent though for what the system offers. I'm more interested in the 3rd party offerings. P-100 (although I guess this is Nintendo published) ,Rayman, and Zombi U make for a good launch period to me. I'm bored with the current systems anyway and most my purchases got pushed to 2013

I guess only dinosaurs care about image quality. Digital distribution has nothing on the sheer quality of blu-ray. And streaming is AWFUL.

There are streaming video solutions for other regions too, even on Wii (BBC iPlayer, Wii no Ma). It is something all the console makers need to work on though.What some also seem to forget, Netflix only exists in America. Unlike Bluray. I heard Nintendo wants to sell consoles worldwide...
I'm no big movie buff, so I'm not raging over this, yet it's still disappointing. Or rather a little annoying, just like the lack of DVD support in this gen.

No, because the dudebros will be appeased by the NEXT GENERATION GRAFIXXXX. This alone will justify their console preference (and Nintendo hatred).
B-but, when I kill Generic Soldier 639285, I can see each droplet of blood that splatters from the bullet hole! They even have advanced fluid physics!
Actually, Microsoft's subscription plan might make the initial price pretty low.

Uncharted 4 will look awesome. And yeah I can definitely see m$ and Sony using the subscription model for cheap people next gen.
This is just silly. If they announced the console was launching at $379.99 with blu-ray capability, people would still be bitching about the price. Why raise the price to add something that only videophiles care about? Odds are, if you are a videophile that HAS to have blu-ray, you're going to have a better player than they would have put in the Wii U anyway.

Uhh, PS3 is only $250 and has blu-ray.

Better hardware will deserve a higher price point. In this case we're getting PS3/Xbox level hardware for a higher price. Doesn't add up.

But the Wii U is more powerful than the PS3/360 so...
Bolded isn't true at all.
I'm sure they'll have a gimped, half functional model for $299. Just like 360.Also, the leaked "Docs" claimed MS was shooting for 299 with Durango as it is.
None of the launch game shows that it's more powerful in any way the average consumer will be able to notice.

You want them to launch this 50 dollars less than the current price of a PS3?

$50 too much considering the currently known software lineup. $300 would be a fair price if they had better third party support.
They need to make money.$299 is too much...
$199 is the sweet spot...
Assassin's Creed 3, Batman, and other games we might not know about, and like I said before the Xbox 360 launch games looked like Xbox games with HD, people where calling the Xbox 360 the Xbox 1.5 and we all know that proved people wrong, just because we haven't seen one launch title yet that shows true next gen graphics doesn't mean we won't see it in the future.
They need to make money.
Anybody who expected the Wii U to be cheap with Nintendos greed (hey, lets be honest, they like to sell hardware at a profit and if it was anybody else we'd call it greed) and that controller included, well, it just wasnt happening.

So the brand new Nintendo console should cost the same as the cheapest model of the 7 year old 360? I really think you are being unrealistic. $299 is the price point I had hoped for so I am glad if this is the case. Now let's see if NintendoLand is included.$299 is too much...

Something like Kameo was far more than an Xbox game in HD. And even then, we had already seen games like FF13 and Gears for PS3/360 that were clearly above and beyond the previous gen.
There are no Wii U games at this point in time that look clearly above 360/PS3. And I'm not saying there will never be ones that aren't clearly above, but if there aren't any at the moment, to even show off, then why will the consumer care if it's technically more powerful?
Well I guess thats that guys. Pack it up!None of the launch game shows that it's more powerful in any way the average consumer will be able to notice.

Anyways 299 is not horrible though anyway. Inflation marches on. 299 is 25 years ago (SNES era) 199.
if it's really 299 and not more. my hunch was 349 all along.
Sell accessories and software...
If they mess up hardware sales then there is a chance that any grip they gain is not enough to build momentum later after launch.
I'd rather have 6m WiiU's sold at $199 then 2m WiiU's at $299.
Nintendo can't afford to not have a good install base.
I am excited about the WiiU but I have to disagree with you. The PS3/360 are definitely capable of Tech Demos that are comparable to the Bird or Zelda demo. in fact, Kara real-time short-movie by quantic dreams on PS3 impressed me more.![]()
Kameo looked great and was a great game but it looked like a high end Xbox game with better resolution, Nintendo confirmed they only wanted to focus on launch titles at E3, but at the Fall Conference they will show off 2013 games for the Wii U, that's when we will most likely see games that look better than anything the PS3 and 360 could do.
If your still not convinced, look at the Bird and Zelda tech demo from E3 2011, they looked amazing and definitely not possible on the PS3/360.

However, I will say that the WiiU launch games blow away 360 launch games so what we see out of the WiiU in a few years (especially the stuff from Nintendo) will definitely look a notch or two better then anything on 360 or PS3.
