So what type of new baseline do you see for the Wii U post price cut and games Max? |
I would think ~100k would be the best it could hope for. 90k-110k. Which would be less than 10mil a year.
I also think it's funny because people are whining that I'm dooming Nintendo but I would say the exact same thing for the Vita. It's price drop would raise to 70k at best

I'm just curious, what kind of price cut are we talking about here? The Wii-U has a very expensive controller, and from what i understand Nintendo makes a slight loss on every Wii-U sold(and pressumably makes a profit after selling one game). It would have to drop to $199 probably to make a serious impact, but i don't think Nintendo will do that.
Also i think the PS4 announcement will boost Vita sales more than the price cut.

Was thinking the same thing. The 3DS price cut cost Nintendo over a years worth of profitability and that price cut was massive (40% for Japan, 31% for the west) I dont see how thats possible for the Wii U. A price cut like that would take the Preimum in Japan down to 18.9K ($200) yen and 15.9k yen ($169) for the basic. That is pretty much the price of the controller alone and in direct competition with its handhelds (3DS at 15k).

$50 dollar price cut along with dropping the basic. So $300 dollars... and I think they won't make another cut for a while because in this thread I think that will outpace the cost reductions. But if they are able to drop again then that's when I see Wii U having healthy sales.
