8th generation is too expensive.

So yeah, the prices of the Wii U (deluxe) is currently $350 while the Xbone & PS4 will cost $500 & $400 respectively.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

In current macro-economic conditions, those prices will be too steep. $400 might've been acceptable back in 2006, but probably not so much in this day & age. The $500 XB1 price tag sounds ridiculous back in 2006, but now, it'll severely cripple the sales of the system. After that, there's still having to pay a pretty penny for games and additional controllers.

As for the Wii U, if it weren't for that stupid ass gamepad, the deluxe version might have the same original price as the Wii's ($250) or possibly even cheaper like that.

Let's take the PS4 for example. $400 for the system, which will no doubt include a controller and other necessary stuff. Want a few more controllers for split-screen? Gotta pay $60-$180 more (not including tax!) Now for playing online, gotta pay $50 a year for that shit. Lastly, the games. Expect the games to still be at least $60 at least, not to mention the potential of higher game prices this gen.

So, yeah that's around at LEAST $570, not including tax.

For almost the same amount, you can get:

A Super NES with 2 controllers
Super Mario World
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
Super Metroid
F-Zero
Star Fox
Donkey Kong Country
Mega Man X
U.N. Squadron
Super Street Fighter II
Axelay
TMNT IV
Contra III
Final Fantasy II
Secret of Mana
