You're crazy if you think any sku won't include the pad.249: Pro controller.
299: Wii U Pad.
350: Wii U Pad + wiimote, Backwards Compatibility.
$250 was overpriced for the Wii, Nintendo was making a good chunk of change on each unit sold.
$250 for the Wii U is pretty crazy with the tablet factored in.
Iirc Nintendo was originally going to release Wii for $199, but retailers pressured them into $249. Considering it was constantly sold out everywhere they didn't exactly have an incentive to price drop it for a long time either.I'm just still upset with the Wii price... those WiiU rumored prices seem to be ok for now, we just need more information on those bundles.
Heck, maybe I'll buy both a Wii for homebrews and WiiU together next year.
