One model of the Wii U is $100 cheaper but the one that gives more space has a $50 differential to the PS4. Onlookers will look at both and bypass Nintendo this holiday season. They've been doing it with the PS3 and 360 while those are essentially the same price. This means the average consumer doesn't see the Wii U as next gen.

give up already. wii u is the cheapest 8th gen option and the average consumer will favour it. and you can bet the ps360 will easily outsell the ps4/xone for a while.

The Wii U is the cheapest 8th generation offering but the average consumer cannot differentiate it from 7th generation offerings. Its obvious from the sales.

No that had nothing to do with its sales, the number 1 reason is lack of games, the only big games so far is NSMBU and that alone wont sell a $300-350 console. Lack of advertising and being the most expensive are also part of thr problem, but all three of those things will be fixed in the coming months.
