Iwata Promises Low Price Wii U

Well that will definitely be interesting!

Over at Andriasang, Nintendo’s CEO Satoru Iwata has spoken to Yomiuri Shimbun Daily today, talking about the company’s pricing strategy for the upcoming gaming system, Iwata said, “We won’t make the same mistake that we did with the 3DS, which was considered relatively high by consumers.”

And Iwata went on to speak about the Wii U system as well with Iwata promising that Nintendo would “have an appealing product at launch.” He then went on to note that he thanks the tablet-style controller and the inclusion of social network style functionality.

What do you think? There has been lots of talk about Nintendo’s Wii U System, about its power, its capabilities, as well as its price and release date, but what we have constantly heard is that Nintendo will release the system for a fair and reasonable price, the question is how much is reasonable.

My guess, you will see the Wii U going for around £249.99 but that is just my wild assumption, but what do you think is an reasonable amount?
