mehhh ps2 was like 500 bucks at launch..not surprised with ps3 being expensive at launch either because sony releases their consoles with the newest tech so they last longer

wow was the ps2 that much at launch?

just checked and supposibly it was only 300..huh fancy that

meh wasnt ps3 like $700?

think it had 2 different harddrive sizes (20 and 60 gbs), at like 500 and 600



they were still selling at a loss on the hardware at that price. Only nintendo has sold their consoles at a profit that im aware of

mm intresting

Ya, I'm pretty sure the 60gb was true.
Remember people coming in to upgrade their console when prices came down.

There is a huge difference in this case.

WiiU is a marginal gain over current generation, one that doesn't give it nex-gen status (as Wii wasn't even on the same page either).

The actual components are dated, and cheap

this is true..wiiu is hardly next gen..its just the best of the current gen (which doesnt say much given how late they are)



best obviously not taking pc into account, pc's are still miles ahead of wiiu

They're the best, by a substantial amount to warrant a buy at a 299 or 349 price point, even 399 is too steep.

WiiU will most likely run all games natively at 1080p with some AA. ~30fps

Of course, true nex-gen should be looking at 1080p or beyond, max AA 60fps
