Nintendo to announce Wii U price, release date tomorrow

 @Vodoo  

I know that, but it'd be pretty dumb to only increase the RAM and not improve anything else. 

 @abHS4L88  @buccomatic Double the RAM is only memory, it's not a critical component of the hardware. Well it is, but you know what I mean.

They seem pretty convinced on the info they have and while I'm still waiting to see what Nintendo has to say, what I'm putting out is mainly to counter what buccomatic is saying about the Wii U being 9 year old tech which is complete bull.

 @abHS4L88  @buccomatic

 Youre an idiot. There have been NO confirmed specs for the Wii U and if you want to listen to developers who say they have "insight' then it will NOT have double the ram. Get your facts straight or dont post at all loser.

 @buccomatic  

So the PS3 right now must be a total rip off because it's currently selling at $250, the Wii U is brand new along with the GamePad and most likely NintendoLand and you want them to sell it at $250? Even if it's "outdated and old" $250 is still too low. 

And since you're wrong about the specs (because it's been confirmed that the Wii U at least has double the RAM of the 360) the Wii U should sell at either $300-$350, but like I said in my other post, you're an example of a spoiled shallow gamer that expects WAY too much and bags on if you don't like what you hear.

 Looks like you are wrong again. There are no 'MEETINGS" or behind the scenes at Gamestop. The only information they recieve I put out for them to see. Not a single story has been breaking news from Gamestop ever. We NEVER know any inside info because we are just a retailer and are basically hated by the gaming manufacturers and developers(our used sales made it this way). Your 'friend' and his DM are either liars or ficticious. Managers dont even know when a sale or promotion is going to begin or end until most times the morning of. So for the best interest of not so smart people putting wrong information out there stop using a gaming retailer for inside information the they NEVER have. And to think people belive you and your no brain comments like knowing about a system pricing and info BEFORE the company even has their PRESS CONFERENCE to release such info, and now look your tips are over $150 off.

 @checkrazor1976  @cubachino 

Well this came from a gamestop manager who was informed by his district manager who attended  a meeting about this info about a week or so ago. Apparently this info wasn't supposed to be leaked out to employees and the public until after the conference, either way I'll be pre-ordering mine later today.

"what if the controller breaks? how much will it cost to repair or buy a new one? and what if the system only comes with one controller? how much will the second controller cost?"

Have you ever owned a DS? Do you own an iPad or tablet? Have you broken those? Unless you're irresponsible with it, I highly doubt it'll break. 

And if it stops working on you, well that's Nintendo's fault and they have to replace it for free so I don't see how the GamePad is where they're going to make money. 

 @buccomatic 

How am I talking in circles? 

Plus you're contradicting yourself saying that no 3rd parties want to develop for it yet here you are saying "devs who have seen this and are developing for it already have said it's the equivalent of a xbox 360 (that's where the unconfirmed specs come from)." I HIGHLY doubt 1st or 2nd party developers would say that. 

Bethesda just said they're not convinced, they never said anything about hardware so stop trying to twist evidence around to support your beliefs. 

Fanatical bias? Here's the article about what Blitz Studios said. What you posted is still "unconfirmed" so it holds no bearing on what the truth actually is.

You're making assumptions based on this past generation because you've been spoiled by what Sony and Microsoft have had to offer and just because Nintendo did what they had to do to stay in hardware business, you've become prejudice against them. 

 @ar2_arr  @buccomatic  @abHS4L88 the WiiU can Handle 1080i and 1080p go look on Nintendo.com and stop getting yalls fax from youtube and blogs

 @buccomatic  @abHS4L88 even thou nothing is confirmed, it will most likely be like an xbox 360, they are probably following the same buisness model as the wii (which had last gen hw when it came out). With the wii they were able to launch at a low price due to its old hw, here i dont know if they can, cuz the tablet controler probably brings costs up. However i dont think ppl are going to buy smartphones or tablets instead, i mean, sure the markets overlap, but i dont think that much, i dont really care for a tablet, its games arent appealling to me and neither is any other application, however a console is definatlly appealing to me, not just the wii u, a console in general, and the wii u is a console, even thou its control has a touch screen

 @buccomatic 

You see that big text that says "Unconfirmed" yeah, that pretty much means that everything listed is speculation and rumors. 

No 3rd parties want to develop for it?  So I guess Crytek, Gearbox, Capcom, Namco-Bandai, Ubisoft, EA, Activison (need I go on) are all 2nd parties then? 

Blitz Studios creative director even stated that it's not the specs that matter about the Wii U, it's the experience that the Wii U is offering that makes it stand out and exciting for developers. So learn that developers are not shallow gamers like you who only care about "the specs and amount of pixels a console can generate".

 @buccomatic 

I would love to see this source that states that what's in the Wii U is 9 year old tech because I've seen this no where. Although I've seen multiple reports that the Wii U has a far superior GPU with a CPU that clocks slightly slower (to prevent the system from overheating) which makes far more sense than Nintendo making a bonehead move by creating a console that's only as powerful as 5-6 year old consoles, even after Iwata stated that they made sure that the Wii U not only will be able to compete with current gen consoles, but also next gen consoles.
