it was the value difference between the basic and premium that stopped consumer buying the basic over the premium. With the premium now $300 packed in with a game and 32gb - it is a better proposition. Anyway price cut won't mean shit without games - so the holiday season lineup and Mario kart 8 is important

This, also coupled with the fact that Wii U is now 100 Dollars/Euros cheaper than its nearest next-gen rival, PS4, and 200 cheaper than X1.

Also, it's not 300 but 299. Which is a psychological thing, making it seem cheaper.

It launched at 299...

Did you overlook the post I quoted in the first place?

Besides, most people who got a Wii U got a Deluxe $350 bundle; even Nintendo themselves stated that demand for that bundle was far greater than the Basic $299 one, far moreso than they anticipated. Obviously, the people who did want to buy a Wii U saw more value in the Deluxe bundle. Hence Nintendo now dropping the $299 Basic and replacing it with a Deluxe. So now people get a pack-in game, a bunch of accessories, and 10% off digital games, plus 4x the internal memory, but the price stays the same. That's a pretty nice improvement and additional value, and people will understand this (Nintendo will make sure of that, too), whether internet forum people agree ot not.
