The problem with the Wii U is that the version that has the better value cost $350 and has limited games at the moment against the cheaper PS3 and Xbox 360 with a library of tons of games out and great games coming this year.


that certainly is a HUGE problem. but i was thinking that alot of people on here, and all the "analyst" were saying that the launch period is when hardcore nintendo fans buy the WiiU. so why is it failing at doing that?  the PS360 are hurting the WiiU when it comes to the more adult crowd, and mass market. but they are not affecting the hardcore nintendo fans are they? so why arent those taking the leap? the higher price point is one, lack of game at launch is another, then you have the 3DS which offers what every nintendo fans want, at half the price. the 3DS has everything the WiiU needs. thats my point. it isnt the only reason, but it is one

Well, I am not a ¨hardcore Nintendo fan¨ but I consider myself a Nintendo fan and a Sony fan. My main problem with the Wii U right now is the price, and only the price. I was an early adopter of the 3DS and I still feel the burn of the 3DS early price cut. I am not going to get the Wii U until I can get the deluxe version for 250 dollars. Nintendo must be mad for launching a new console with a controller that takes almost 30% of the cost of the system.
