No way bro the highest I see them going would be 350 but we will see might suprise me and only be 250
There's no way it will be $699, that'd be so rediculous, no one would buy it. A reasonable price would be maybe $499.


Most I would pay for a Wii U would be $350.

The wiiU is a stupid idea and a waste of money.
Nintendo hasn't had a good idea in a while.
