I don't think the pricecut is going to help the Wii-U much at all, maybe the first few weeks a bit. An unappealing system at $350 is still unappealing at $300.

yeah, because there's nothing releasing right after the pricecut, oh wait!

Quit acting as if these games are gona make Wii U start winning this generation, GameCube and N64 had them as well and they didnt do shit to stop Nintendo from getting obliterated by Sony and even Microsoft.

who said anything about winning the gen? he said the console was unapealing at any cost, with the games slated for this year and next the console becomes apealing for many.

When did Microsoft obliterate Nintendo? Xbox-25m vs Gamecube-22m is pretty close and in no way obliteration, Wii-100m vs 360-80m so Microsoft vs Nintendo is tied 1-1.

Actually i was reffering more to the system as a whole. The tablet controller clearly doesn't have much mass market appeal, and it already seems to be lacking 3rd party support. At $200 it would probably be more interesting since it would be competing with the PS3(though that won't happen since they would lose money on it), but at $300 it is still a bit to expensive even for people who would buy the system just for Nintendo's franchises.

We dont really know how well the mass market likes the gamepad yet, outside of NSMBU and Nintendo Land there isnt really any titles that appeal to the so called "casuals". Once DKC Tropical Freeze, Mario 3D World, Wii Party U, Wii Fit U, Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros release there will be alot more reason to own the Wii U and we will have a better understanding if people enjoy the gamepad or not. Obviously it doesnt have a Wiimote/motion control type of appeal but not many things do, its hard to tell if hardware is apealling if the software isnt there.
