Rule34 That's a pretty high price. Then again, the first Wii was like $200-$250 at release. I can't believe it came out like 6 years ago already :O

Seems pretty stupid to pay that much. I can't even imagine the new Xbox and PS4's price range. Of course they'll come a year after the Wii U so the prices might not be that much higher.

Xbox and PS4 will probably be in the $400-$500 range.
