Calls for Wii U price cut begin after Nintendo financials

The weakening yen should make it easier for them to cut the price. I predict either one huge price reduction in August-September (like $80 ala the 3DS), or a more phased approach, $50 reduction in the spring (basic phased out), followed by another $20-$30 reduction in November.

The system is way too expensive right now though, it's even keeping away Nintendo fans IMO. They need to get the Nintendo Land bundle down to $250, PS3/360 are eating their lunch completely right now.

I don't think it's necessarily the price.

If you look at the Wii U's first few weeks it was doing quite good, even trending ahead of PS360. But after all the hype fell, we got the worst sales I've ever seen for a Nintendo Console recently. I think that's because we need games. And we need them now.
