Don't forget Next Level's Wii U version of Diddy Kong Racing! I don't think they'll drop the price until October, and even then it might not even be a true price drop. It might be just a liquidation of the Basic set to get rid of excess stock and some Mario/ Wii Fit bundles at $299.99 with the Deluxe Set staying at $349.99 until mid-2014 when 720/ PS4 competition becomes fierce. |
They might as well not even bother releasing Wii Fit U without a price drop to be honest. It's too expensive to get to the casuals and doesn't have the appeal. Totally sent to die.
The price point needs to get to a much more "impulse buy" level if Nintendo is going to have any chance at getting a broader audience with this thing.
Fundamentally to be honest I think the design of the system is flawed to its core though, and even price cuts and a sh*t ton of Mario and Wii/Mii retreads may not be enough. It's a system not casual enough for casuals, and not core enough for hardcore players, which leaving Nintendo's faithful fanbase, but that runs thin after a while and even there are portions of that crowd that are easily tempted away by MS or Sony if they get frustrated.
