The Wii U is a brand new console with features that are new to gaming and you're expecting it to be the same price as the Xbox 360, which is 5 years old and will slowly decline and become replaced next year?

The US sales figures as a comparison, setting 400,000 first-week Wii U systems against 197,000 PS3s and 326,000 Xboxes sold in the first two weeks. In Japan, in the first 3 weeks, digging back through Media Create data, the PS3 only shifted 156,400. Looking at how the PS3 and 360 tracked over the first month of their launches, the Wii U is almost certainly ahead.
