What about the 3DS?



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.

3DS has no competition, it makes its own rules!



Pack a external HDD in and Wii mote for 349. I mean 32GB WiiU for 349 versus 500GB for 399, the 50 alone is made up by the HDD. Everthing else is added value for the PS4.

What you fail to understand here, Peh-Zeus, is that Wii U is dead in the water. Nothing, not even a price cut will save it against the god-like status of The PS4.

Now, onto big man talk. Do I think Nintendo will drop the price? Um, yes. Before the PS4 Launch? I hope not. I'm pretty sure they aren't making money on the current price, so an even cheaper price will put them even further down the hole. And no one wants that except for the devil himself.

Right now what they need is a new marketing push and bundles with the already announced games that are releasing this year. This will last until Nintendo starts to make at least a penny off the console. (Then, and only then, should they drop the price.)



Well, they'll prob do it eventually.



I'd say expect one closer to ps4/X1 launch

The price is about $50/year for online multiplayer.


50 x 10 = 500 <--- Online play throughout the 10 year plan

399 + 500 = 899 <--- Final price


Game over.



Bundles, marketing and maybe getting rid of the basic and putting the deluxe at $300.

A price drop below $300 is not needed this year.
