OceanJ said: Just to mix this thread up a bit and not be single-mindedly focused on numbers, here's a general question. What do you think the single biggest announcement Nintendo could make, tomorrow, that would cause demand for the Wii U to skyrocket? A price drop? Zelda 2013 release date? Anything? Or is there no such thing as a single announcement that could do so. |
Well they could "3DS" it if the system flounders for several months:
$80 price drop for Nintendo Land bundle (same as 3DS) to $269.99
$299.99 Wii Fit U bundle w/Balance Board (new white model)
Basic 8GB -- gone.
Mario Kart U + 3D Mario for fall 2013.
There's no chance in hell Zelda would be ready that quickly unless it's like a 4 Swords game, and even if it was, Mario Kart is a (far) bigger franchise. Mario Kart Wii alone has sold almost as much as the entire Zelda series on consoles from the NES-to-Wii.
