Satoru Iwata Cites Poor Basic Wii U Sales To Rule Out Price Cut Benefits

Isn't Drive Club part of the PS+? If so it's not free at all.

Also you think the WiiU is too expensive at 300 euros but you have no problem with the PS4 at 400? How can you explain that if it is not because you are basing your opinion on power as WiiU will certainly have a much better line up when PS4 launch thanks to its already released games?





It is, but I already have a 2 year sub, so it is free for me :P If you have a PS3, PSV and plan a PS4 PS+ is a no-brainer.

I'm not buying a console just for what it's worth in December 2013. Wii U will be better at that point in time - no question, but will it still be better in December 2014? How about December 2015? 2016? A console isn't a cookie that I'm gonna eat day 1, it's going to stay with me for years and as far as I can tell, PS4 will be gaining value much faster than Wii U and we all know that. A console just for Nintendo games is worth much less for me than a console for Sony games and 3rd party multiplats. I have paid the full launch price for Wii (actually even a bit more, since Nintendo is totally ignoring my country and the consoles were more expensive), but I really loved the concept of motion gaming and was hoping for more "core" games to use them (FPS games especially, Metroid Prime was pure awesomeness). Got kinda burned, but I loved my Wii non the less. It had enough of a value for me to justify the purchase at that price, Wii U isn't even close to doing that and that's why I refuse to pay more or even as much as I've paid for a Wii. 250 was a good price for Wii, it probably is a good price for Wii U as well, but I'd only bite if I found it somewhere for 200. That's what a secondary console for Nintendo exclusives is worth and Wii U will never be capable of satisfying all needs of a gamer. It has to establish itself as the second console you buy on top a PS4 or XO, but that clearly isn't worth as much as the primary device.
