You said yourself in another thread that the console wouldn't be worth buying unless it was $150 or less. That's financial suicide here. Nintendo isn't a huge company like Sony or Microsoft where they have other departments to take up the losses like the first few years of the PS3, the entirity of the orginal Xbox, or the start of the 360. You expect them to take a +$150 loss per Wii U and that not to be seen as negative? We're talking about a system that is overall more powerful than the previous systems (even as small as it is), that is very effienct in power consumption compared to even the newer models of the PS3/360, that basically has a Wii built inside it as well, with an insanely customized GPU (so much so that people are still unsure of its specfic real world performance), and with a expensive controller. |
How is my perceived value of the console a negative thing? That is the price I would be considering buying the product, you know? We were not discussing Nintendo's financials, we were discussing the sales of the console. Try to grasp the difference.
