French retailer FNAC has listed the Wii U release date as well as pricing for the console. The retailer has produced a flyer which states that the console will retail for €349 and will launch on December 7th. We’ve already heard rumours suggesting that the console will see a December release in Europe and a November release in North America.
SOOOOO CHEEEEEEPPPPP!
- Mr. Miyamoto
this is just more BS estimates.
how many different estimates and prices have we had now ?? 10-20 ????
none of them are true . lol . we have to wait for confirmation
Ummm, 349 pounds in not cheap in US currency.
Ummm, its 349 euros not pounds. Still not cheap in US currency.
What would that be in USD?
$440 and change
$440.19 if you wanna be exact on it
you might want to check that, because that actually works out as $440.329 USD
Well, with all the taxes on it, it would be around R$3000,00 or R$4000,00 in Brazil (something around $1500.00 $2000.00 in USD). I hate Brazil ¬¬
No one cares about Brazil.
Considering the 3DSXL went from US$200 to R$1200 (nearly US$600) here, a US$400 Wii U could go for nearly R$2500.
Thank Hylia we have Paraguay.
God I hate taxes, here on mexico it will probably cost like $700 USA dollars on launch day -.-
hi there glad too be i united states were there saying our price $249.99 $299.99 and $349.99 glad the united states price is not $4,000
Considering how the world works, it will be 350$ in the US while 350 euro in Europe.
‘murica, fxck yeah!
hi there yeah $440 max price in usa we get delux at $350 or basic at $300
I’m European. If it costs 350€, it means 350$. Cheap for you, guys, unfair for us. It is always this way in Europe
Well Canada has to pay 13% sales tax unlike the US.
Sorry Ontario Canada, provinces varry on Taxes. But its still more expensive in canada to buy video games for that reason there when compared to the US.
I know my dutch BF has to pay out of his ass big time though for video games because of the high prices in taxes. So he loves how cheep that stuff is here lol.
Hey, us Brits have to pay 20% sales taxes! And that’s every step of the way so things can end up being twice the price of their US counterparts.
Well, you know, here in Norway we have to pay 25% sales taxes. Not complaining or anything, it’s just weird how different it is between countries
hi there yeah we have only 7% sales tax in the united states in goergia
Yes because wages are lower compared to Canada (ie its $10.25 for mininum wage in Ontario and its still rising just not this year) and most of our Taxes are going to our health care system.
why bring up canada XD !!!!!!!!! joke . canada is cool i guess.
Because I live here :P
Only 13%?
European laws limit any nation within the Eurozone to go beneath 15%. You’re lucky.
That’s around $440 in US Dollars, seems a bit high, I don’t think Nintendo would want a repeat of the 3DS at the beginning of the Wii U life cycle
Is anyone actually falling for this?They are just making up some prices.But we will find out in september 13 im looking for 240-299.99 USD
yeah i know i wish this site would shut up and wait till the 13 i mean damn 7 more days seriously
This is a news site, though… They shouldn’t skip past a rumour just because the real price and release date may be announced soon. Sickr is just informing he readers of *possibly* new info.
Seriously, just wait 7 more days for the real release date and price.
Quit your complaining about high prices – In Australia, we’re going to get it for $600 – AND our dollar is stronger than the US$!
Canada should be paying less for games since our dollar is always on par or above the US dollar but we still pay more. Example DS/3DS game average price
is $34.99 in America but we will pay $39.99 for those same games in Canada.
At least yours will be cheaper than the UK.
$349 euros? ohhhh that is kinda expensive :/
You won’t see straight conversion anyway, look at any console sold internationally over the last decade, they always vary between countries. Take the Wii for example, that launched in the U.K. for £179 which at the time in 2006 was equivalent to $342 USD.But it launched in the U.S for $249. Companies charge what they deem appropriate to a given market. Besides retailers often make up prices like this as a baseline before products launch anyway. Best to wait for the 13th
Unfair, isn’t it? I wish all nationalities could have the exact same prices.
hi there banana your right we need a single global money curncy i vote that all cntries use mario gold coins
Nintendo will kill’em all for spoiling prices and dates. Or speculating. Or both
They know rumours will be around amd there isnt anyway they can stop them until they announce it. Im pretty sure these majour retailers already would have the price and release date but have to keep there mouth shut about it. Kinda like how games seem to arrive a week earlier at stores before release date sometimes.
Is everyone expecting a higher price tag like $500-$700 for ?
€349 is not much, because that works out as $440.392 in USD, and £276.821 in GBP.
$440 is way to much in my opinion for that. Id deffinetly pass for a good few years til I got cheap! I wont play it as much as the PS4 and Xbox720 so I want to pay less for it. Id pay that price for PS4/Xbox720 though if its a higher end model, like has more memory for example.
So your idea of pricing is rather you’ll use it often?
Yeah I dont mind paying $400 for a console ill play the hell out of since Ill love it that much. My old PS3 was that price and I played it to death literaly. Now I would never pay thaf much for my Wii since I rarely touch it. It was in January since I last touched a Wii game on it, I still gotta beat skyward sword but other games and work have been distracting me from it. To me that is a waste of money so ill want to pay less.
Dude if you don’t think you’ll use it often don’t by it at any price… That makes no sense
hi there you think that $440 for wii u is too much money ps4 and xbox 720 released there price $1,000 for xbox 720 and $1,500 for ps4 xbox games cost $120 and ps4 games cost $210
Uhhh no…. no they wont be that price and I am damn sure about that. They aint stupid. At the very most I see it being $500 for the highest end model of it.
The exchange differences arent that straight forward. The 3DSXL is about $180-200, in the UK its £180. £ for $, it should be about £120. Europe amd the UK get overcharged all the time, i’ll just be $350, and £320
Well for obvious reason of course it wouldn’t be as I said it would, only just stating how much that it’s actually at if you look at the conversion differences. It’s not as a definite price-tag. –– 3DS XL is about £169.99 in the UK, which is a fair deal to most, and I wouldn’t go out my way as to say the UK get overcharged all the time.
Not all of the time, but a lot of the time, we do get heftily overcharged. Mainly with electronics.
And, as you said, the 3DS XL is currently around the £169 mark in the UK. That equates to about 269 usd. So Brits are paying about $80 more for the exact same console except we are not even provided with a charger, whereas American citizens are paying about $80 less than Brits and yet they get a free charger bundled with the console.
Personally, I wouldn’t really describe that as a ‘fair deal’.
Some stores gives you a deal with a charger included, and the chargers don’t even cost that much anyway, they should only be around about £10 or so.
To be honest I would not pay any higher than £276… I’m hoping it’ll be more like £220-250
At best stores like GAME will probably throw it at somewhere around £199.99-£219.99 as is without games, then as they throw in a deal with games will probably be around £239.99.
Or maybe i’ll till next week and have Reggie actually tell us
i know a long time ago that it will be 350!!!
lets just wait shall we
As long as the price tag is equal to the hardware… If you know what I mean… If wiiu cost 100 to make (obviously not I’m just making a point) no way would I pay anywhere near 350
Fucking expensive
on the flyer a little note at the bottom says: “appearance and issue date can be modified without warning by Nintendo”. It seems like Fnac has simply put a bet on the date…
Could anyone tell me the real price of The Nintendo Wii in USD?
No one knows til the 13th.
No, Wii, not Wii U.
Ah sorry misread. Idk you gotta look that up your self, no idea where you live.
He specified he wanted it in USD…
Yeah im a dumb ass… i know xD i dont give a fuck.
But cant he just google it?
lots of my information becuase i google stuff the internet
I need it to be at most £280 otherwise I will be angry and rip up tissues.
I hope for a £250 price, it seems a reasonable price to set it as it’s not much more expensive than the PS3 is now.
1 year anniversary is december 10th…let the subtle hints begin
It is impossible to be so expansive. First, they know that if they will make same mistake as 3DS pricing they are doomed. Second, It is tooo much for console with power comparable to current gen. I think it will be something between 200-300USD, and I hope it will be something between 200 and 250$.
if the French are correct it in the ball park for want i am thinking on date but as we know we just need next week to come and all these guesses will stop
This price is a bit higher, Let’s wait until reggie tell us next friday.
PLUS didn’t Nintendo say that the Wii U would be released WORLDWIDE AT THE SAME TIME…;p
It’s gonna be $250. I’m calling it.
