| Lucas-Rio said: We will wait getting full results of the end of this year to judge Smash. But 150 is a price the Wii U will reach, as the GC reached 99 and so did the Wii. Will it happpen at the end of next year or in 2016 is the real question. The extra 50 is the price of the gamepad that can't be reduced. |
We don't have to wait. We didn't have to wait for MK8. We didn't have to wait for SM3DW. Why would Smash be any different?
I don't see the Wii U hitting $150 until after the successor is released. The Wii reach $99 because it launched at only $250, and that was after many many years. You seriously think the Wii U will have dropped a full $200 in 3-4 years? Come on. The 360 has been out nearly a decade and isn't at $150 yet.
And, for the record, the Gamepad costed $80 to manufacture at launch. So no, it's not just $50 extra that can't be reduced.
