A new core franchise or a reinvention of a classic a la Metroid Prime. Simply releasing more sequels would sell the Wii U to me as effectively as they did with the Wii (still waiting for a $50 price point).

You mean Nintendo games, right?

If so, then yes, I think they could launch them in the 50-55 $/€ price point (about 5-10 more than now). Third parties will go 60-65.


No, I mean the hardware. I have a large collection of games and I didn't amase it by buying expensive hardware, I usually wait for a system to reach a price of $50-150 before I buy it. I bought my PS2 for $200, Xbox for $50, GameCube for $50, Dreamcast for $50, 360 for $125, etc... I bought a launch model PS3 when EB Games had an excellent promotion for $250 by trading 30 games and I regret not waiting much longer than I did. The Wii is certainly not better than an Xbox, GameCube or Dreamcast so I wouldn't even be excited by the prospect of ''only'' paying $50 for one. I'd simply toss it in the pile and get around to it once I complete my excess backlog of Xbox, GameCube and PC games.

Oh, I see. Just to know, the consoles you bought for  $50 were used, right?

I bought my (2nd hand) GameCube for a bit more, but I got it with Metroid Prime and Super Mario Sunshine.
