How Much Will The Wii U Drop!? <(^_^<)

Well here in the UK it has had a price cut down to £240, with regular sales of £200. Nintendo will have to beat that to get any interest, and at least match it if they have a shot at gaining back retailer trust.

How much was it originally? Would a $50 drop beat or meet retail prices? How about a $100 one?

It launched at £300, but since around February it has been £240-£250 everywhere, and has had the occasional £200 sale (to clear out stock I assume). I don't think Ninendo can match this really without losing a lot, and it wouldn't change anything in the consumers eyes.

The bigger issue is the loss the retailers will have been making, meaning they have to convince them that the Wii U will sell before they put any effort into stocking them or promoting them at all.
