It's not over yet!

This bundle seems super pointless.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

lol, Nintendo some how finding a way to raise the price of a product they're trying to clear out.

As long as Market demand > stock, they can get away with it - no matter if they are deflating stock themselves :).

Looking at these small things, i cannot believe they will sell the NX for a loss.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Pointless & expensive.

Expensive << yes

Pointless << no

Nintendo is squeezing every last drop of revenue out of the last remaining Wii U stock they have. They need the revenue, no matter how small.

NIntendo be like...

Clear out? Comparison of sales and shipments showed that there were no wii u stock in Japan as of March which means that  they're selling what they ship! Consequently, there isn't any excessive stock that they would like to clear out, unless you mean inventory at  factory! However, given Nintendo's struggling to sufficiently stock wii u, after the unexpected  huge holidays for them, due to splatoon and super mario maker, thus  constraining the supply, implies that they were left with a small amount inventory.

 

They're probably still manufacturing wii u, at least for Japan ( unless there is a way to get stock from outside of japan and modify it ), and I know it's something that you don't like, eh?

Wii u sells on a stable pace,  4k every week ( Essentially, it  sells out, since it seems that Nintendo ships 4k every week and it depletes ) , even after NX news! For sure, the demand is higher than that, so Nintendo finds a way to meet it, by making again a bundle with the biggest wiiu-seller game of Japan....

And NX is being released in one year, Nintendo doesn't have to make some money till then?



Its Nintendo trying to cash in on their new popular franchise. I doubt most Japanese gamers will be dumb enough to fall for it.

Yeah, Nintendo don't create a bundle with  your wii u biggest system seller of Japan again, just wait for one year to NX release without making money, logic...

As for the  expensive part, it's sad occurence, since we all would like price drops, howbeit wii u price is getting higher instead!

 

Nevertheless, don't blame Nintendo, they had huge holidays in 2015, almost equal with 2013, wii u's best year ( when there were  killer bundles ), with overpriced bundles of super mario maker and splatoon... Wrong message!

Splatoon with help by super mario maker, mesmerized people...



Well, they are finally restocking Japan.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
