Iwata: Wii U at a reasonable price | Wii U a un precio razonable

nintendo iwata on yomiuri shimbum daily article 001

[EN]: Nintendo put a high price on the 3DS and the sales of the portable gaming device weren’t as expected. The company learned a valuable lesson, and it seems like it won’t be making the same mistake again with the upcoming arrival of the Wii U. During an interview published on today’s issue of Yomiuri Shimbum Daily, Satoru Iwata said “we won’t make the same mistake that we did with the 3DS, which was considered relatively high by consumers.”

Because of the game tablet and the social networking features seen in the Wii U, Iwata promised the company is going to have “an appealing product at launch.”

No price has been stated yet, but according to an analyst, the Wii U should be sold at 30,000 yen (US$376) per console to break even. It is too early to guess on a price, but $376 would be too much of a price here in the US. This is just one analyst’s opinion. Let’s wait and see in the upcoming months what Nintendo gets to say about the price and final specifications.

[ES]: Nintendo le dio un precio alto al 3DS y las ventas del dispositivo de juegos portátil no fueron como se esperaban. La compañía aprendió una valiosa lección, y parece que no va a hacer el mismo error de nuevo con la próxima llegada del Wii U.  En una entrevista publicada en la edición de hoy de Yomiuri Shimbum Daily, Satoru Iwata dijo que “no cometeremos el mismo error que hicimos con el 3DS, que fue considerado relativamente alto (en preico) por los consumidores”.

Debido a la tableta de juego y las características de redes sociales vistas en el Wii U, Iwata prometió que la empresa va a tener “un producto atractivo en su lanzamiento”.

Ningún precio se ha dicho todavía, pero según un analista, el Wii U debería ser vendido a ¥ 30,000 (EE.UU. $ 376) por consola para salir sin ganar ni perder. Es demasiado pronto para adivinar el precio, pero $376 sería demasiado para un precio aquí en los EE.UU. Esta es solomante la opinión de un solo analista. Vamos a esperar y ver en los próximos meses lo que Nintendo llega a decir sobre el precio y especificaciones finales.
