| DarthVolod said: I keep saying ... should do a bundle with a digital game (Zelda, Mario, ect.) without the tablet controller (wii u pro controller in its place) for $250.00. Nintendo would still make plenty of money off of it with the cost of the controller factored out, and people could still play about 90% of the games for the system. Start selling the tablet controller separate as well so people have the option to buy it. This is no different than the 2ds strategy which looks like it will work out nicely for Nintendo at such a competitive price point. |
Taking the 3D effect out of the 3DS to make 2DS was simple because every 3DS game was already made playable in 2D. No app on 3DS requires 3D either. Taking the Gamepad away from the Wii U, on the other hand, completely breaks entire games AND the system's apps. Lego City and other games that utilize the gamepad for more purposes than just off-tv play would be completely broken. Rayman Legends would suddenly be no better than the PS3/360 versions. Miiverse would suddenly become a chore to use. TVii would be completely broken. Google Street Maps would be diminished. Panorama would be broken. You are not talking about the even remotely the same thing when you compare going from 3DS to 2DS and taking the Gamepad away from the Wii U.
