Welp since Nintendo can't drop the Wii U down to $100 anytime soon, that should confirm to you that there is no chance, based off your logic anyway. The Wii U has been selling worse than GCN all this time, so that means even if it started selling on par right now, it still wouldn't beat the GCN out even by the end of it's lifetime, assuming Wii U stays on the market the same amount of time. It'll be far too late by the time the Wii U can hit $100. Besides, I'll bet the GCN reached $100 before the N64 did, and look how well that worked out for it.
Also, the SNES wasn't the NES, the N64 wasn't the SNES, and so ons, so what's your point here? Nintendo games are still nintendo games regardless of the platform they're on, and those Nintendo games haven't ever been able to move enough consoles to outsell their predecessors, so for like the 4th time, why would they now? You say the Wii U isn't beating the GCN because it lacks Smash, but why then could the GCN not beat the N64 once it got Smash, or the N64 beating the SNES who never even had Smash? Same applies to Mario, Zelda, and all them other franchises. |
Comparing Wii U to prior systems as an example that "this won't help because it didn't a decade ago" is pointless because circumstances were so different.
|
Then enlighten me as to what these differences are and how they'll allow Smash, Kart, price cuts, etc. on Wii U to do what they have never done before. |
Price for a start; price cuts didn't propel prior systems much cos they were never too expensive in the first place. Wii U is.
|
Is that it? The only difference is the mildly higher price? That doesn't even prove that price cuts would make a difference now, unless you think they should have released the GCN at $300 just so they could do more price cuts lol.
