1. price won't help hardware, software will.  Doesn't matter if the Wii U is free.  It needs games.  You can't do anythign with a Wii U without games.  (well actually you can these days, but nothing you already don't have in your house)

 

disagree.  Gamers today are "smarter" than ever, with access to gaming news sites, forums etc...with the repeated topics "Wii U is not next gen" "wii u is not powerful enough" "wii u is not much visually better than ps360".  So there is a fixed value in those consumers' minds, and at $299-350, its simply not worth the "upgrade" to most, so only Nintendo fans will buy in.  For this thing to fly off shelves, yes, it needs (exclusive/unique) games but it has to flourish as a 2nd household console, meaning slash the price $50-100. 

I HIGHLY disagree with that statement. People are willing to make themselves look like total idots all for the sake of slandering another company.
