Wii U price cut vs More Wii U games

[Soundwave]

Honestly maybe it's just for the best especially with Nintendo platforms to stay away for the first six months if you need a lot of content to play.

Because Nintendo doesn't have the same type of third party support and their internal resources are constantly split between portable and home console, it's always going to take about 7-8 months for their platform to really rev up.

You buy a Wii U in June and you're probably looking at NSMBU, Nintendo Land, Zombi U, Pikmin 3, Aliens: CM, Lego City, Rayman, and maybe Wonderful 101 already available.

I think Nintendo was banking on getting more 3rd party support this time around, like stuff such as GTAV and BioShock Infinite and MGS Rising to help them through the post-launch period, but no dice it looks like. I think they probably also overestimated the appeal of things like Black Ops 2 and Assassin's Creed 3 on their platforms, no one really seems to care that Nintendo is finally getting comparable versions of a few HD franchises. I get the feeling Nintendo thought just having those franchises + Mario would be a can't miss combination.
