| Einsam_Delphin said: The thing is the 3DS only had 2 significant games, being MK7 and SM3DL, whereas the Wii U will have SM3DW, Wii Fit U, DKCTF, Pikmin 3, W101, Sonic LW, and more, meaning a price cut in it's first year will not be nearly as necessary as it was for 3DS. Plus from what I've heard, they were making money on each 3DS sold before the cut, while they're losing money on each Wii U sold. They may want to wait until the Wii U breaks even before doing a big cut like with the 3DS. Also, there's already a good amount of 2014 games in MK8, SSB4, X, Bayo 2, Yoshi Yarn, and SMT x FE, with more to be announced later. |
You're kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel on your list for Wii U. The last three on your list will probably be lucky to sell combined what MH Tri sold, yet you neglected that. The 3DS also had a Sonic game as well that sold moderately.
The other problem is the rest of your list doesn't release until November and December. After retailers have ordered their holiday supplies. I'm not sure if it is finalized, but I recall an image of release dates for the Wii U and 3D World and Wii Fit U were listed as December 12th. Now if you're a retailer, are you going to base your orders on the current tepid sales, or are you going to take a risk and order more on the faint hope that you can sell them in the brief period between those releases and Christmas?
