OT: $50 probably. Though $30 is not out of the question given the Wii's $120 price.

Ah, I do see the similaritys. I always just liked that face. Glad they make ya happy! ^_^
What did you think about the 3DS before it got it's price cut? I bet most of us were thinking $50 then too. |
Before the price cut I think that we can all agree that $250 was a bit too much. Nintendo probably thought that the DS brand's success would be carried over even at a high price but underestimated the shittyness of its launch titles.
And yeah, in my opinion $50 made the most sense back then as well. $179 and $199 should basically look the same to the average buyer, but I guess it does make sense since the XL version was already in development and expected to be $199.

Yeah, $250 was definitely too much for what the console had to offer at the time as reflected by the poor sales. Same issue for the $350 Wii U. From what I've heard, the Basic model is hardly selling at all in comparison to the Deluxe, despite being $50 cheaper, so the Deluxe model's price is the one that matters most. I think we can assume a $50 cut won't do a whole lot when considering there's already a Wii U at $300. The Wii U needs a price that it hasn't been at before, that's why they need a larger than expected drop to really ramp up interest. If they just do $50 people could say "wasn't the Wii U already $300? Meh whatevers." Bad example, but hopefully it shows what I'm getting at. :L |
I think you're absolutely right about the average customer thinking the wii u hasn't gotten a price drop if it's at 300$, I was thinking something like 269$ or 279$ for a deluxe set bundled with DKC:tropical freeze or 3d world for holiday season.

Dang those would be amazing bundles! I hope they do that with MK8!
