Its nintendo's own fault. Like the 3DS, once the price drops people will jump on it. Games have something to do with it, sure, but people have a perceived value for Nintendo.....everyone chirps about graphical prowess, and if "there isn't much difference with PS360 visually", then consumers will scoff at $299-350. The cost of the controller, is all on Nintendo, they want to make something unique, great, but IT CANNOT come at the expense of graphical prowess. That's why only Nintendo fans (like myself) are buying Wii U, not casual or many 'hardcore" gamers. Get rid of the basic bundle, drop the price of deluxe with nintendoland preinstalled for $299, would help a relaunch. But honestly, $250 seems like the sweet spot if they want to beat the next MSony consoles.
