What's the point of no return for WiiU?

No it won't. Not to the majority of people it won't. People love Nintendo games, but if the machine doesn't have the biggest third party games like GTA or Madden? Not going to cut it.

If Nintendo wants to improve sales, it needs to be $199.99. Even then, it won't do much better than GC.

We were discussing if it can pass GC sales. GC didn't have much 3rd party support either so the 3rd party point doesn't mean anything. You go on to say that a price drop would help so you more or less agree with me.

The Gamecube had alot more third party support and the games it got, where BETTER versions than the PS2. Wii-U doesn't even have Madden. You know you're in deep shit when a game like that doesn't ship for your console.

I think, honestly, they need to open their wallets and say to some of these devs "look, we are going to assure you ___ in profit by insuring your software upfront". That would get SOME support back. You simply can't expect to sell a console without sport titles.
