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.

There definetly is confusion. People seem to think that the WiiU software will work in their Wii. There is still a similar confusion with 3DS.
Nintendo needs to start advertsing more that they are difference.
I don't think price cut will make much of a difference as 3DS isn't exactly flying of the shelves atm either. I honestly thingk the IN thing atm is tablets and iphones lol. There was a survey that was psoted on here a month ago or so of what peopel wanted. Video gaming in general was far below tablets, iphones, tvs and other main stream electronics this year.
Agreed, bnot enough softwware to make a ps3/360 owner move. Needs something other than multiplats to hook them.

You know, after thinking about it, I think the reason the 3DS even started at $250 could have been for the simple fact to show that it is a different system (through price alone). I can see someone coming along and seeing the 3DS price isn't much higher than the DS, and they would think "must not really be any difference."
