Would You Pay $600 for the Wii U?

EB Games Australia has released a speculative price of $598.00 (AUD) for Nintendo’s new Wii U console.  That is about $599.02 in US Dollars.

This is not the first time EB Games Australia has priced a console early.  In 2010 the company priced the Nintendo 3DS for $350, the same price it launched for in Australia.

Nintendo’s President Satoru Iwata admitted, “This thing is not going to be cheap.”

UK-based online retailer Zavvi has the console priced at £399.85 ($618.20) and French Carrefour has the console priced at 450€ ($583.60).
