They need more AAA multiplats and people still cannot differentiate the Wii U from the PS3 and 360. This is where the PS4 and Xbone will have the advantage in their debut. If you ask me, the tablet is holding the Wii U back......BIGTIME.

It can run most engines, but isn't even a candidate for Elder Scrolls online. The scale of games are changing and launching a current gen level console in the next gen is truly hurting Nintendos talks with third party. Bethesda said on Bonus Round that the only two platforms that can handle the game outside of PC are the PS4 and Xbone. Wii U is basically slightly above current gen tech (no more, no less), but is Nintendos next gen. This is the way of the world. Nintendo is late to the party. As he said before, call a spade a spade.

Because AAA multiplats sold 100 million Wii's ...........No, multiplat is irrelevant on a Nintendo console. They just need to start putting out software that takess advantage of the gamepad and market the damn thing properly and they will be fine.

No way Nintendo would cut the price again, they were reluctant about this price cut and with a decent line up of Wii U games coming up, i would like to think another price cut wouldn't be necessary

I just dont think its the price anymore, its just not a desirable product. Theyd need lots of must have games, and that doesnt mean just main line mario and zelda games anymore.

I keep saying ... should do a bundle with a digital game (Zelda, Mario, ect.) without the tablet controller (wii u pro controller in its place) for $250.00.

Nintendo would still make plenty of money off of it with the cost of the controller factored out, and people could still play about 90% of the games for the system.

Start selling the tablet controller separate as well so people have the option to buy it.

This is no different than the 2ds strategy which looks like it will work out nicely for Nintendo at such a competitive price point.

You're a smart one aren't you? It's quite obvious the Wii is a once in a blue moon ordeal. The marketshare Nintendo amassed last gen will not be here in the next gen, which is why analysts have predicted that this generation the overall marketshare will shrink. When nintendo fails a gimmick, they are basically back to feeding their loyal crowd which hangs at around thirty million. If they up their third party at least a bit more they'll be able to make it forty by the end of this generation. Of all the people to understand my point, I thought Michael Pachter would be the last. Nintendo will need third party support more than you know because this generation is going to be very, very rough.

cod, assassins creed and more great AAA came to wii U, but they didnt sell well. they sold way much less than nsmbu
but it is a solution in a long term, it can change the image from big n.
but in a short term, if they get the 100 mil wii owners ...

So X1 is 74 times more powerful than a Wii U? I need some of that shit you are smoking. :D

I'm' surprised that people still think the price is the reason for the WiiU's situation. The console is more than powerful enough for third parties to make NEW HD games for the console.

Now that the new price for the WiiU is $299 AND there are no EXTRA skus, the price for entry should no longer be a concern for most people. (A reason why early adopters of electronics these days ALWAYS gets screwed as I literally begged a friend of mine to wait it out just a little longer before buying his WiiU)

Now if Nintendo can do the following things, the WiiU should be on top in the end. Definitely!

- Bring out the games (for obvious reasons)
-ADVERTISE the thing on TV (to help negate the CONFUSION the game pad is causing or has caused with the public)
