  Ugh....didn't notice it's an E-mail update to let you know when it's available to pre-order. Doubt it will be at this price then. Will leave this open just in case, but doubtful isn't it?

  Good price. Remember the days of the PS1 retailing for close to £400, crazy.

  I thought it might have been a bit cheaper, I mean is it actually any better than a Xbox 360

  Problem is I want a white one! But you get so much more for the premium package.
  
  I pre-ordered the Wii but suspect I'll wait a few months before getting the Wii U. Partly price, partly I'm not so excited by it. And I've still got a few Wii games to finish first!

  The Saturn was £400 when it was released and I remember buying the PS1 from a sony centre for £300 on the day of it release. Happy days:)

  £250 a good price???? -
  
  firstly how much is a second controller or all the additional add ons required to make it a 'family firendly' console?
  
  Secondly if its true its not going to be much more powerful than current gen consoles, then £250 IS priced too high, wont be long before you will be able to pick up a 360 for £99 and a ps3 for £129 RRP methinks.
  
  But then lets be honests its gonna be a console to keep the kids quiet (little johnny playng wiiu on main tv, mum wants watch big bang theory repeats for the 10th time so little Johnny justs play on controller scree' isnt it and not a 'gamers' console.

  The second full controller is going to be a mouthwatering £105 give or take based on the Japanese Yen price. Ouch.

  You don't need a second controller. There won't be any games that take advantage of a second gamepad until Summer 2013 at the least.
  
  You're supposed to use your exisitng Wii controller/nun chuck as 2nd, 3rd & 4th player, most Wii accessories are compatible with the machine.
  
  Without getting into a long slanging match (which is probably inevitable sadly), I suggest this FAQ which answers a lot of questions about performance and tech spec.

  After getting burned to the tune of £100 in near launch price drop for the 3DS, then the XL coming so soon after Nintendo can blow me if they think I am buying this overpriced 360 and a tablet at launch.

  For those comparing this to current gen consoles, don't forget that this is like buying a console and a tablet.

  All the decent games aren't coming until at least April 2013 http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-09-14-every-wii-u-uk-launch-game-listed. We don't even have Pikmin 3, Dragon Quest 10, Bayonetta 2 or The Wonderful 101 listed for the UK in the next 8 months. Those are looking to be the best exclusive titles and all but 1 is a sequel. In fact most of that list of games on Eurogamer will be available on other consoles without having to use awful controllers or buy new hardware.

  As soon as Wii-U was announced, Microsoft, Sony and PC developers thought oh good idea and soon you'll be able to use normal tablets and Vitas as controllers/screens/peripherals on forthcoming games on Xbox, PS3 and PC. So it's not like it's a unique selling point, not that it wasn't going to be much more than a gimmick in the first place. Also, the Wii-U isn't really a 'next gen' console (hate that phrase) as it's just a bit more powerful than a PS3, which came out in 2006.
