No, only Kinect and Move gimmicks because they are throw away, tacked on features. The Upad and wii-mote are not gimmicks as they are intended methods of play.

Here's the reason why people think it's expensive - Because they can't afford it.

Maybe taxes, you aren't in EU after all. And we (Latvian here) get to pay the same price as Germany or UK - given the income level here (some 12k EUR/year for a middle class family) that's properly expensive. I'm only buying games when they get old enough and are priced in the 20-30 EUR range while new and hot tiles can easily be around 60-80 EUR.

shows how much you know dip shit. this day and age the consoles aren't region coded, its the game its self that prevents the OS on the console from working. Hence, why when i bought max anarchy for my AMERICAN xbox 360 it booted up like a dream and on top of that i still got achievements. its the maker of the games that create the region code. none of the consoles currently out have region coding on it. you just have to find the games that aren't region coded. but good luck with that.

Why, Nintendo was the company that ripped of Sonys PS3/PSvita compatibility, just that the PS3 and the PSVita is more powerfull.

They also now rip off the black color :O

Yes, I suppose that is true, and the living standard is very high in Norway, what with high taxes, a small population, and all the oil and stuff. We have decent wages. Also, quoting a Anon further up above us, it seems it has to do with taxes:

"One of the reasons video game prices are more expensive in non-US countries comes down to their tax law. Brazil for instance suffers from insanely ludicrous import taxes, as games are imported goods not manufactured within the country. The UK, France, Germany, most of Scandinavia, and even Asian countries like Israel all tax imported leisure goods, and games are often specifically included.

Additionally US prices are always listed BEFORE TAX, as the sales tax varies by state. European listings are always AFTER TAX, and generally reflect the higher taxes Euro countries are expected to pay. Tn the randomly selected US state of Kentucky you may pay 6% sales tax, but in the UK you may pay as high as 17.5% in additional taxes."

One thing that really sucks here though is that import taxes are outrageously high...

> And that is why the Wii U will fail unlike the Wii, this trash is trying to compete with ps3/360 instead of doing what Wii did

Did you mean PS4 and X720? As that's how it will be after a while...

Sankaku users with their typical foresight and intelligence are already bashing a console WHICH HASN'T been released yet. Also, criticising graphics is very mature.
I'm excited by some of these titles and might buy it at launch.

175 for the controller? I'm sorry but I bet you hard money that a 10" tablet you can buy for 175 by year's end will probably have more horsepower than this total piece of crap, and additionally should be able to accept a nice usb gamepad and have hdmi out to shoehorn into a game console. I certainly hope this all goes down in flames. Majorly expensive for subpar very locked down hardware. Those days are over, or should be.

Zelda's been garbage ever since it became a puzzle-fest piece of shit, it's not a even game/toy anymore - just a retarded jigsaw puzzle

It's not Nintendo; it's Japan.

All they care about is limiting reverse importing, regional sales figures & licensing fees.

No one cares about the DSi, also there's tons of flashcards that work on it.
