Nintendo: Wii U will be reasonably priced

Nintendo has said the Wii U will be sold at a ‘reasonable’ price.

The company is hoping to avoid repeating the mistake made with the 3DS, which Nintendo admitted was too expensive upon release.

Nintendo boss, Satoru Iwata, told Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun (via Andriasang): “We won’t make the same mistake that we did with the 3DS, which was considered relatively high by consumers.”

Analysts have said the break-even price for the new console will be around £240 GBP.

No release date has yet been announced for the Wii U although it is expected to be available before the end of the year.
