Think of it this way. The Gamepad controller costs about $150 by itself. And think of it as the console is costing the other half. Now it doesn't seem so bad, now does it?

I've yet to hear the bitching, but I'm not surprised by it. I figure people think Nintendo should be cheap, since the Wii was, and most people don't give two shits that the system is on the level of the 360/PS3 in terms of what it can do.

Personally I think the price is fine. I'll be picking up a 32GB, with AC3, BLOPS 2, Mario U, and a few other titles for my kids. I don't mind investing in the new system, considering they've given me plenty of reasons to do so. I'm excited.

Just to put to rest fears anyone had of needing to buy a second Gamepad, Nintendo is not only not pushing out games that need two Gamepads, they won't even be selling them separately until needed.
