News has leaked from a GameStop conference that the popular retail outlet will be selling accessories for Wii U on November 18th. Although it’s not uncommon for peripherals for a console to launch early, it should be noted that the 18th of November is a Sunday. We should hopefully hear launch information and pricing for Wii U on September 13th.

Wii U is not even current gen specs, it is LAST GEN specs.

Actually people do. Just like the same folks who completely leaked the Wii prior to launch. You act as if everything is a total mystery, but not anymore pal. The industry will always have leaks and there is nothing you could say to prove otherwise.
The Wii U is a lot like early Wii rumors made up by fanboys, claiming it would be as powerful as a 360, and look how that turned out? Total rubbish.
You guys can’t even grasp basic logic of this. Nintendo WILL go the cheap route.
Form an argument using the price of components that would lead to a “more powerful machine” that doesn’t go over the speculated price point of $350.
A decent GPU by today’s standards is already $150-200, more than half the price of this console’s manufacturing costs.
1.5GB RAM *specifically console RAM* would be about $10-20.
A decent CPU would be $100.
The console is obviously using a Blu-ray drive without licenses to play the movies, so that’s about $50-70.
Then there’s the wireless chip.
Then there’s the controller, I’d imagine at MINIMUM would be $30-50.
Then they even have to pay for raw materials, manufacturing costs, shipping, all sorts of taxes.
That’s going to be a $300-350 console that can wipe the floor with the current machines to you? LOLNOPE.
Are you stupid? This console is not going to be demonstrating power over the 360/PS3 the RAM will make games look *slightly* better.
Sorry to say, Wii U is a double overclocked Wii, which is an overclocked Gamecube.

Shut up you mong. You already said the ps3 was pricey solely because of the blu-ray, they wouldnt of taken a loss on it if it just had an optical drive and 25GB disks. “But the cost”. WiiU is a pure gaming console. No DVD, no Blu-ray, no other crap attached to it, then theres no HDD, its not got a Cell processor so that’ll keep the cost down. Its literally, a GPU, a CPU, optical drive, and some fans. Thats going to save a pretty penny. And besides, do you work at Nintendo? No? The how do you KNOW that Nintendo wont sell it at a loss?
You’re feeding on lies and bullshit, shitting them out, and feeding on them again. Nothing you say is credible, its just twisted rumours, that you lace with inconsitant “facts” and link to current but mostly dated and outed RUMOURS.

Sony lost hundreds on the PS3, I think the manufacturing costs alone were $1000. And yes, that was blu-ray. Which has since deteriorated in price, but you’re too stupid to figure that out.
No blu-ray? That is definitely a Blu-ray drive, they will very likely reverse engineer the discs and write them differently just like they did with the Wii discs, which were basically DVD discs. There’s a reason why homebrew can enable DVD playback on Wii’s without the need for physical mods.
The rest is just a load of junk that you’re trying to obscure the truth with. MS also lost quite the amount of money on 360s at launch as well. The 360 itself was on par with modern gaming GPUs. The Xenos is based on Radeon X1800/1900, which back then was among the best cards.

Thatsdoesnt mean a thing, either way, alot of money os beingsaved in the WiiU’s production, and it wont needto beas pricey as everythingelse was, commonsense. And the bluraycost goingdownmeans nothing, it was in the ps3, it made it pricey, its “apparently” in the WiiU but its cheap now, so the WiiU production is still cheaper. Everythingelse is not junk, its the barebone facts.
And 360 was outdatedprobably half a year after it was released, like all consoles conparedto PC’s. And fair enoughonthe link, but a $300-350 consoleis still a pretty heftyprice,if it is the price,bucount in all the money saved from the production, and even the link you posted about the CPU, if it does the job, and it goingto bethat cheap to produce, then more koney saved.

The problem with your argument, is that you try to speak for the core market. Trust me, the core market -does- care about seeing leaps in console performance. The Wii offered little magical gameplay in the end, and ultimately the better software is on the other consoles, only a crazy person will deny that.
I buy new consoles that can show me they’ll last without gathering dust under my bed about a year orso later. Nintendo is doing the exact same mistake that unfortunately you posters will buy into a second time.

Yes it was, and neither can you prove otherwise. Prove that the Xenos was “outdated” upon release. Oh and by the way, a random $400+ card that was out of reach for most gamers at the time isn’t going to be putting anything “out of date”. Don’t try to talk PCs around me, idiot.

I’ll say it once and I’ll say it again. It’s nearly impossible for the wii u not to be more powerful than the consoles of today with 2006 era tech with the technology from 2012 that the wii u will be running.

Do i go on an xbox blog site? No. Why? Because i have a fucking life, and i couldnt give a shit what Microsoft does, everythig they do just makes me shake my head anyway so why would i give a damn.
Im not buying a WiiU for specs, i look at the software and think, “why would i want to miss out on that?”. I look at the controller and think, “my mind explodes from the ideas of ways that can be used in a game”.
Software is more important than the hardware. Just look at the 3DS, its DESTROYING the Vita. The Vita is more powerful, no doubt. Its probably got some good online features to as well as the cross play. But its games suck, and it has maybe 2 worth while titles.

I’ve never been one for CoD, as for LBP, I get my 2D Platforming from Mario. I couldn’t get into AC after the first very dull one, and nothing else appeals much either.
