I think the controller was a terrible mistake. The out of the box motion controls and cheap price point have been huge factors in the Wii's success. I look at the box of the WiiU and basically see an expensive 360 now. It seems to have ditched it's low price point and unique motion controller out of the box selling point for a giant screen stuck on a traditional looking controller? I don't know, I just really really think it was a big mistake. I think they've managed to alienate casuals with the new controller and pushed away the core with the price point that is only so high because of the controller. I love nintendo and their games, but I think they have really shot themselves in the foot with this one :@ Hope I'm wrong obviously! |
price point is only 50$ more, wii launched at 249$, wii u basic is 299$, nintendo can drop it 249$ and take a small loss, thats not the problem though, the problem is nintendo is not a brand gamers care about anymore, wii sold as a wii sports and wii fit machine, played it, enjoyed and are now done with it, i predicted 35 million for the wii u, now i'm thinking it might not even sell 25.
