There was no price cut for the Wii U on Europe, just a few stores made the cut and it was only for the basic model, that has 8GB and no game bundle. |
Wrong the price cut happened in Europe already several weeks ago.
Retailers can freely decide for what they offer the WiiU in Europe since Nintendo didn't give out MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price). Due to that retailers lowered the price on their own because it's not selling very well and at the same time forced other retailers to go down in price as well.
Basic SKU:
Launch price was around 299€.
Went from 265€ to 193€ in the past 90 days:
