Do you think Wii U will let you use two tablet controllers at a time?

Or of saving people from having to buy a second tablet controller which likely won't be cheap and giving them the choice of using a system they may already own as a second tablet controller.

That's a concern of mine, I can only imagine that the controller/tablet is going to be pricey. What do you guys think?

$99.99 most likely. Maybe $79.99 at the lowest.

The controller's triggers are digital rather than analogue.
The new 'button' on the controller relates to a new version of the Wii Vitality Sensor technology.
Achievements supported.
The dashboard is customisable.
The console is currently running Epic's newly revealed Unreal Engine 4.
Valve is working on a digital distribution system for the console, as well as a port of Portal 2.
EA and Crytek are also very much involved.

Meh. That's better than 360 and PS3, but it's still a two year old chipset. It shouldn't cost $400.

Nintendo is batshit insane if they even think about a price above $299, and honestly, $299 is too much as well. The only way they should price it at $299, is if they are going to be supply constrained anyways, and simply want an extra $50 from their diehard constituency.

I think after the 3DS slow sales after launch, Nintendo will be much more aggressive on pricing this generation, kind of like they were with the Wii. I am actually more curious about where Sony and Microsoft will come in next year. I'm guessing they will both shoot for a $300 box.

I think that Nintendo will only allow one tablet controller in use at launch but eventually they will do a firmware update to allow you to use two or more.

I'd have to guess that both Microsoft and Sony are looking at $399.99 . Reason being, they both don't need to immediately kill off the 360 and PS3. Those systems prices will get lower, and tons of games will still come out for them well into 2014 and even a bit in 2015. The price of the PS4 and Xbox Next can start out pretty high at $399.99 (the launch price of the Xbox 360 by the way), and sell to their base, and then lower it to $349.99 when need be. Then of course, they will hit $299.99 and probably stay at that price for 3 or 4 years. That seems to be the trend.


As for Nintendo, if they are really going to be supply constrained, and they don't have a killer Mario game, then maybe they can get away with $299 and still sell out. If they aren't supply constrained, and have a killer Mario, then I think they need to come out at $249.99 and try so sell as much as they possibly can. This system won't likely have a pack-in, I'm guessing. Maybe a demo disk. If they go with $299, they better throw in a pack-in again. (The Wii was $249.99 originally, and included Wii Sports)

I'm guessing that Microsoft will actually launch with two sku's again since that not only worked out really well for them last time but also forced Sony to take a similiar route. As for price, they'll probably launch with the same two prices they used for the 360 launch: $299 for a stripped down lower end model and $399 for the premium stacked model with all the bells and whistles.
