You seriously acknowledge the Wii U as competition for the PS4?

they said the same thing about ps3 vs wii , ds vs psp , 3ds vs vita.

OT: NO

price will stay the same maybe next year a price cut if not met expectations

 

• More power (irrelevant)
• More game support (irrelevant)
• Blu-ray (irrelevant)
• Better looks (irrelevant)
• Cheapest Playstation console ever (spot on)
• No name confusion (spot on)
• Sony consoles can generally sell more at a higher price than Nintendo consoles (spot on)

WiiU is nowhere near being a DS, Wii or even 3DS. It's seeing the lowest weekly sales of a new console in recent memory. I think people are kidding themselves if they think WiiU doesn't need a price cut. The question is if Nintendo are willing to take the loss or not. With no price cut they will get demolished, especially early next year.

again with this. wii u sales are low for one reason and one reason only: lack of games! while a price cut by the end of the year will certainly be helpefull, it's not strictly necessary because price isn't wii u's problem.
