So Wii U controllers are going to cost $337.
Better look after them well.

Usually I just laugh at Kotaku and the poster linking to it, but this time I just have to laugh at the poster. The article states it'll cost half the systems price ($172).Dr Shaneman wrote:So Wii U controllers are going to cost $337.

But that article is already wrong as the US price has been confirmed as $300 for the basic package.
edit: anyway, guess I'm getting a WiiU since they've announced a Monster Hunter for it and it's even getting a euro release.
Interesting to see they've stuck with an IBM PPC Processor & AMD Graphics as opposed to using a custom jobby,
Seeing as its labeled as "Multi core" i doubt it will have 8 (Cores) like the Ps3, but will be interesting seeing how close it will be in terms of performance (although it will benefit for multi tasking as ram is shared a la Xbox 360, whereas PS3 is fixed)
GPU will probably be pants as i believe i read its a HD5xxx (and thats about 3 years old now)

Not sure about the Wii U, but if they're anything like the PS3 you're looking at about $6k new i believe, then you have to buy updates to the SDK which are quite pricey and you only get X amount of licences per SDK so more of those are added on
Then you have to buy a licence/access to the developer networks for resources etc so its a costly prospect, although the Dev units do appear from time to time, most of the time though its just general debugging stations which have limited functionality without a Dev unit
