Maybe, but so long as they remain cheapest, even if only by a hair, I don't see them changing anybody's minds. What would dropping to $250 do now besides put Nintendo in the red? Right now a price drop looks way too reactionary to Sony's price, and the lineup is really strong between now and next spring. Those titles alone are on par with the other console's launch libraries. If the Wii U is loosing early launch advantage come Q1 2014, then's when I'd go for the price drop. |
Don't get me wrong, I would never suggest Nintendo go in the red for a prolongued period. I'm saying that sales will go up when the price is right. Until then the market won't bite, even if the games are there.
As for looking reactionary, that doesn't matter. The 3DS may have looked reactionary to Vita's price but it didn't make a difference. Ultimately if the price is right perception of reactionary measures doesn't matter.
