首发599美元！WiiU澳洲定价华丽登场

Earlier Nintendo had said that the Wii U will be expensive. “This thing is not going to be cheap,” said Satoru Iwata, President of Nintendo, and he also hinted that it will be priced more than 20,000 Yen ($250) in Japan.
According to the latest reports, EB Games Australia has priced the Wii U at $600.
Now before you say it is bullshit, EB Games have been pretty accurate in the past. Their 3DS price was set at $350, and it launched at that same price in Australia.
When calculating it in US$ it comes out at approx. $605, as per the current exchange rates. Is that a fair price to pay for a next-gen console? According to me it is. But Nintendo have always priced their hardware low for mass market penetration.

Wii U priced at $600 at EB Australia

较早前任天堂总裁岩田聪就说过“这东西不会便宜”，也暗示过在日本本土的售价会超过250美元。
从最新的消息来看，澳大利亚最大的游戏销售商 EB Games Australia官网刚刚标出了折合美元599元的售价，玩家面对这高价可能乍舌，但是EB Games过去定价颇为准确和严谨，当时3ds在澳大利亚发售前EB Games就标出折合350美元的售价而结果出来的一模一样。
按照当前的汇率，准确折算澳洲的售价是605美元，不过作为次世代主机，玩家不可能把当前的PS360主机的低价格来简单衡量，而且任天堂曾经宣布WiiU和Wii将共存一段时间，所以之间存在较大差距也是合理的市场定位。
无独有偶，最新消息，法国最大的销售商Carrefour也刚刚给出WiiU售价为450欧元，折合美元也是和澳洲的600美元相似。
而英国的Zavvi 也给出了399英镑的预售价，再次和600美元接近。种种迹象表明WiiU的渠道价格开始透明化，如果你是任天堂爱好者除了关注最新价格动向之外，赶紧在2012发售日前攒够钱吧。
