Another day, another thread on why the Wii U isn't selling well and blaming it on everything but the fact that people aren't interested.  Vita fans have accepted this, why can't Wii U fans?

Well, people are pretty much interested in anything at the right price.  You can "sell" shit in a brown bag if it's free.

That being said, I think Nintendo needs to (needed to?) bite the bullet and lower the price of the system to 250.  Maybe even too late for that now, although Mario Kart and a price drop bundle could sell like crazy.  But they probably won't do that until NEXT holiday.

If the Wii U sells at least 5 million a year for the rest of it's ( hopefully) 5 year life cycle, it will have easily outsold the Gamecube. So a slow decrease in price to 100 dollars or less is not off the table yet. The original Wii was 89 dollars last year at BF. The Wii U can still go that low. They can even do something in the middle of next year if need be. Down to 249.99.

Selling ok now, and saving the price decrease till Summer may have been worth it for them. Then have a 2014 BF deal for 20 dollars off or something.

 

We will see.....Seece....but they keep the amazing games coming, people's attention will have been....gotten.

Amazing Nintendo franchises? That isn't going to turn peoples heads. Nintendo fans yes, outside of that no.
