Nintendo - YOU are Iwata. - View Post

Here is what I'd do. I immedately take out the gamepad, replace it with the pro controller and sell the system for $199.99 with NSMB 3D bundled. I'd then sell the gamepad separately for $59.99 and market it like MS marketed Kinect for the 360. Then, I'd drop all games to $50.00 and go to work refining the entire online side of things. I'd create a unified login like XBL, with purchases tied to it. I'd also tie club Nintendo to that name so all Wii purchases could be downloaded and new physical games would be instantly redeemed from the dash board. I would also unlock Blu-Ray playback, or offer the option for a small fee within the store to cover the costs.

Once all of my work was done on Wii-U, I'd then start focusing on the next machine which would have power and controller parody with Sony and MS. I'd ask all third parties what THEY want, and do it. Online would remain free and BC with Wii-U would be native.
