Right now they need to pretty much halt all advertising, and then launch an SKU with:
-$200 cost
-64GB+ storage
-No tablet, just a controller
-SSB
-MASSIVE advertising push
If they do this I could see them at least making back some of that market-share... |
-SSB? Bundled with Super Smash Bros? For $199.99? 64 GB not 32 GB? More likely to be $279.99. Expect a Wii U Basic model with the Gamepad at $229.99, or for your price, the one I recommended for BeElite.

Exactly. Which is why they will continue to sell horribly. It's not even a third as strong as next gen, it has a pitiful amount of storage, and it has an inferior online service and library to the PS3. It. Will. Not. Sell.
|
An 8 year old console has a larger library of games than a one year old console? No kidding? Wii U Is doOmedz!!!
Wii U is probably 1/3 the power of the PS4, but horsepower isn't the reason it selling badly. Marketing is the key factor to get attention from the masses.

Doesn't stop it from being true lol!
P.S. There is no "Probably" about it. It is possible to actually do the math, and the Wii U is about 1/6th to 1/9th the strength of the PS4.

PS4 is a king in horsepower no doubt, but the Wii U isn't that much behind as you say. Wii U's architecture is extremely efficient and with enough effort and talent, it can almost match a XB1 or PS4 tailored game, just with less particle effects and slightly less refined texture details. Now if the Wii U had 8 cores instead of the 3 it has, it would topple both of them easily.

What makes you say that?!
The Wii U essentially uses a CUT DOWN HD 5550 and memory clocked at 1600 MHz. That is 320 cores at 550 MHz on an old 40nm process.
The PS4 essentially has a 7870 with a few less cores than it, but much faster memory 5500 MHz. That is 1152 cores at 800 MHz on the modern 28nm process.
How you get only 3x stronger is beyond me. But people believe what they want to I suppose...
