I also dobt it because it would boost the price of the Wii U to being right up there with the vastly superior technolofy wise Xbox One and Playstation 4 and nobody would buy the underpowered Wii U at that price for another gimmick and expensive, later additions to consoles don't really have a track record for making them sell all that much more than they already are selling.

The best bomb Nintendo can drop with Wii U is to reduce the price of Wii U's Deluxe Model to $199.99 because then it would be available at a realistic price point in relation to PS4 and Xbone.

So, 300 + one game is overpriced? It has free online, you can use all the stuff from the Wii, everything. No features behind a paywall. If you buy a Wii U now you have atleast 4-5 titles that are really really good. And as far as I know no launch title benefited from better hardware besides prettier graphics. 200 is just unrealistic and almost trolling.
 


When you're 1 / 4 to 1 / 8th as powerful as the other consoles and they cost $400 to $500, you really shouldn't charge over half of that for your console.

You know, first of all you don't pay only $400 or $500. You have to count the online paywall for both consoles. If you buy a PS 4 with $5 per month for online and you have the console for 5 years you payed ultimately $700  for it.

You also don't get a game with the standard bundle....another $60. Now we are at $760, then you want Camera maybe because it isn't bundled with the PS4, another $60  = $820. If I buy a Wii U with 300 $ I have 1-2 games, depends on the bundle. And also every feature from the beginning.

And almost everyone has/had a Wii at some point. If you want to play with other people they can bring a controller with them o you have one yourself. Also you can play every freaking Wii Game. You don't have that on the other consoles. Oh and the freaking remote play is also included in every bundle. The range isn't comparable but is has no lag at all. And if you wanna have that feature on PS 4 you need online features again and a vita (and not many people have them. +200 $. Or maybe $150-$175, depends on how they price the combined PS4/Vita bundle. So please do some research before saying Wii U price for it's value is 100 $ too expensive. 32 GB of memory isn't a excuse, depending on the game you can get as many games on it like the 40-50 gb games on a 500 GB HDD in the PS4.
