Which amazes me! The Wii U supposedly has last gen visuals( plus a bit of horsepower) but is over 200 dollars more than a basic model 360 and still barely making a profit per unit sold. What are they thinking? Needs a 100 dollar price cut by Christmas! $239.99 is my suggestion.
oh look, a MK8 commercial just aired on tv for the fifth time this hour...wonder what they are paying for marketing on MK8? |
It will probably get price cuts and more bundles by black friday.
As for the marketing, at least we know they're marketing it now. I haven't seen a Wii U commercial since Pikmin 3, and before that, the horrible launch ads. They're not paying Activision COD prices, but the increased marketing is a welcome change.
