system is priced to high and they dont have the motion control hype like the first wii had. The systems have just been sitting in my bestbuy warehouse. 360 and ps3s have been flying off the shelf


Too high? $250 vs $300 is too high?  I highly doubt that price has anything to do with it.  I think not enough people are even aware it exists, or that it's not just another Wii with a tablet added to it.

Yea, after thinking about it for awhile, I don't think price has much to do with it.  I mean the entry price is only $50 more than the PS3's entry price.  I also believe product confusion may have something to do with it.  However, I also believe that their just isn't much demand for it beyond the Nintendo faithful at this point in time.  It's not going to win over the PS3 and 360 guys with mostly ports that are just on par graphically with their current system.  This only leaves the Nintendo fans and the casuals that Nintendo won over with the Wii.  The only problem for Nintendo is the Wii U isn't as accessible to some as the Wii was.  Especially the really young and middle-aged to elderly demographics.  I still believe a price cut can help some of this, just not all.
