| oniyide said: the 32gig was 350, its 300 now. How is that NOT a price cut? doesnt matter if the crappy sku was 300 before, its not even around anymore. Ill give you that. its not marketed as much as PS4 or xone, but its not that bad. I see commercials and ads, but IMHO it still wont help much. Vita has even worse advertisment and its been doing better weekly than WIi U on average. Thats not the point I was making. I never said they were going to just pick it up on a whim. You say no one knows about it. I say you are wrong because they are in stores, huge chains. But that goes back to my initial point they see it and they just dont care. So its not that they dont know WIi U exists it just does nothing for them. No one is saying that Ninty is only releasing two games. WHat people are saying is that thsoe are the only two games that matter in actually moving significant HW. You think they are going to announce anything at E3 the level of Kart or Smash? doubt it. |
I don't consider it a price drop unless the price is the lowest it's ever been. They basically up'd the storage and bundled a game with the basic. I guess you can count it if you want but I don't. Anyone who wanted a Wii U could've gotten one for $300 since launch. It hasn't been any lower. (Officially)
I have only seen ads for 2 games, Lego City over a year ago and 3D World during the Holiday and that's it. If that "isn't that bad" to you then that's fine. It's your opinion.
Gamers know about it sure but regular consumers wouldn't. I didn't mean it like that. I was saying that the average person going to a store or shopping online, knows ahead of time what they plan on buying. Unless they go the gaming section, they won't notice the Wii U exists to the point of looking into it. By this I mean, if someone goes to Walmart to get a plant and happens to walk by the gaming section on their way and see a Wii U sign, they likely won't stop to check it out. This goes for the PS4 or XBO too. Most people don't just check out random products for fun. They would have to hear about it beforehand from an ad, commercial, or word of mouth.
Maybe not on the exact level of Kart or Smash but something that can surely help, yes I do. The NFC game could attract children and Miyamoto also is working on a new game. Plus, Animal Crossing is also pretty big now. Then you have the possibility of a remake. ZTWWHD, while not selling significant systems did help during last Holiday. A remake of Super Mario 64 or something could definily attract decent attention.
