Wii U launch games are already discounted, but what does this mean for Nintendo's next gen console?

**silly article**

 

What a bizzarre article ...

Retailers believe that using the Wii U and Wii U games (potentially) as a loss-leader will drive so many people to their store that they will make up any lost revenues/profits in sales of other goods and this is a sign that the Wii U is unpopular?

The reality is that the economy is in much different shape than it was in 2005 through 2007, retail is seeing fewer people walk through their doors and (on average) these people are willing to spend less money, so retailers are using products that can draw a crowd to drive the sales of products that can't draw a crowd.

I completely agree.

I wonder what do this people write when in the UK the competition between stores is so hard that they sell new, very anticipated titles, for half the usual retail price.

For example:

And nowadays the price war is no where as savage as it was!
