"Top dollar."

It's going to cost around the same as the PS3 and 360... Which still range from $250 to $420 (4GB 360 tard SKU not included), remember. Although that's more of Sony/MS being idiots when it comes to prices this late in the gen.

Then again, they may drop the prices last minute just to try and hurt the Wii U.

cool breeze · « **Reply #1083 on:** May 23, 2012, 03:17:04 PM »

barebones 360 is $200, I think.

if anything the Wii U will take a page from the 360, Vita, and Wii to keep costs down. no hard drive or any amenities included.

Tasty · « **Reply #1084 on:** May 23, 2012, 03:23:51 PM »

Nah, it'll have at least 16 GB of flash memory, if not 32. They're going to put full retail games on the eShop, and relative to the Vita the 3DS had a good amount of storage (2GB built in, 2 GB SD card bundled with every system.) This is the one area I doubt they'll be extremely skimpy with; the Wii's storage bit them in the ass, hard, and the 3DS shows they learned from that.

Yes, Nintendo really learned the importance of an online marketplace, which is why they launched a platform in 2011 without one until 3 months later.

Your argument for Wii U having a decently sized hard drive is due to the importance of Nintendo wanting to cultivate a decent online store. I'm arguing that this is the same company who took 3 months to even launch an online store on their last platform. Nintendo may say something is important to them, but their bumbling actions say otherwise.

I actually only paid $180 or so for my Vita and a 32GB card on launch (I traded in a bunch of games). Thanks for wondering?

I didn't say they were cultivating a "decent online store" at all. Just stating a fact. Iwata has said retail games will be available digitally for Wii U on day one.

You're arguing semantics at this point. Nintendo putting up retail games on eShop is a sign of them trying to improve their online presence, and build a decent web store. However, thinking Wii U will have a decent hard drive because Nintendo's doing something online is silly. They'll do whatever is cheapest for them.

Tasty · « **Reply #1092 on:** May 23, 2012, 06:20:58 PM »

I would have been cheapest for them to not stuff 4 GB into 3DS boxes but they did it anyways. If anything, Sony's been cutting corners lately in their blind pursuit of POWAH.

I don't see how coming up with your own memory card format is cheap, but okay.

Also, my 3DS came with a 2GB SD Card.

I completely forgot the 3DS had non-SD storage. Whoops.

You said Sony's "been cutting corners" more so than Nintendo because of their lust to develop products not equivalent to others released 5 years prior. While over priced memory cards are a scammy way to make money, I wouldn't call it "cutting corners" given Sony actually had their own, older proprietary formats but chose to make something new. Why are we even talking Sony in this thread.

So like Pikmin guys.

Yeah, that stuff doesn't match up with what I've heard. At all.

Can I take a wild guess and you tell me how far off I am? Hot-warm-cold would be enough.

- 1.5 GB RAM
- 16 GB flash memory
- 3-4 GHz clocked CPU
- USB 3.0 support
- Shaders? Instead of the <insert any previous Nintendo system since 2000 here> way of having it all fixed function.
- No firm price yet, but likely around $300
- No firm date yet
- Clicky sticks
- Two UPads max during gameplay

I'm kinda clueless when it comes to vid cards but I think it's likely the Radeon HD 6770 comparisons are apt, if not somewhat misleading since comparing raw consoles to PC's is FUBAR.

This is the picture I have based on wild GAF rumors tempered with my own awesome wisdom and insight.

fuck, dude, the 3DS PICA200 has shaders. and HAHA at "1.5 GB RAM"

they are using a slightly modified off-the-shelf radeon part. also, nintendo is cheap and likes low power draw. do the math.

Based on reports/rumors about the controller:

- Sticks instead of circle pads
- Sticks are clicky
- No octo-gate
- Analog triggers

99% this was due to feedback from a prominent western third party, maybe even just EA.
