Why the Wii U Prices are Just right, for Now

The cost I'm taking comes from the US confirmed price for the black Wii U: $350.

I am not counting the cheaper 8gb white model because Nintendo much like other businesses, release a lesser SKU to try to highlight the harder expensive SKU's value. By way of example, why find the white Wii U for $300, when, for $50 dollars extra, you will get better model. It's a simple marketing trick that's been utilized for sometime.

Lets breakdown the cost. Remember these figures are certainly not 100% accurate.

$100 dollars for your controller $250 for that actual console

The black $350 Wii U

As of today, the 250gb Xbox costs $250 and also the 160gb Ps3, another $250.

Now taking into consideration the buy wii u a little more powerful, you can see that the particular price is not that dear. The console itself is would cost the same as the 360 and Ps3, whether it not because of their tablet. Nintendo have timed it perfectly. They are able to benefit from obtaining the strongest console for around annually.

The challenge arises when Sony and Microsoft release their new consoles. These consoles may have been announced by this time next season and will also be somewhat more powerful compared to the Wii U. Obviously, the value point for these will probably be above $250, try $400-500 either way. The Wii U is going to be out-dated at that time, but as seen with all the original Wii, we've got the technology doesn't need to be the very best, providing it captures you imagination, inside the Wii's case, the motion controller.. Nintendo have attempted to make this happen with all the new tablet however in my personal opinion this isn't enough.

The cost point personally, is great. The Wii U will sell well not less than 12 months. It might will struggle since the other next-gen consoles come out, nevertheless they will be positioned since the cheaper less sophisticated console.This worked for the Wii plus it may just work with the Wii U. The tablet is seen as Nintendo's game changer, however am not convinced it can be as game changing as motion control was. Microsoft previously showed the same concept with Smartglass and Sony while using Vita. However, Nintendo know from the Wii, that a gimmick similar to this will not likely create longer lasting sales. For this reason they are going to try to do yet another thing.

Nintendo will attempt and entice back the hardcore gamer that felt ignored with the Wii U as well as function as type in justifying the value. If the occurs, Nintendo might strike a perfect balance of innovation, hardcore games as well as a enticing price.
