well that the problem, nintendo banked on the tablet, just like they did the motion controls, motion controls sold the wii, the tablet is not working on the moment. take away the motion controls from wii sports and what do you have?

The tablet isn't as big a system seller as motion controls, that much is obvious. But that's not why it's failing; it's failing because the software is almost all (A) ports that people can just get on their PS3 or 360, or (B) aimed at an audience outside the Wii U's price range. (NSMBU, Nintendoland)
If the Wii had cost $350 instead of $250 it would have had a much slower start.

I disagree if wii had a starting price of 299$-349$, it still would have sold great, kenict proved that as it gave the 360 a huge boost, and it was selling for 399$, it sold like 30 million in 1 or 2 years not sure though.

At $350 it would not have flown off shelves as fast as it did at first. Once it dropped in price then it would have had the explosion that in reality it had on day one. It still would have sold well at $350, but it wouldn't have had such a flying start. Remember how much price held the PS3 and 360 back?
And Kinect was $150 if you already had a 360, which many people did.

I don't think price ever held back the 360, i think the problem with the 360 is, it was supply constrained till april 2006, wasn't a huge brand name, and people were waiting for ps3, now the ps3 The price really hurt it and caused it to lose market share. the wii was just hot , people wanted it and if there was a basic of the at 299$ it would have sold amazing.
