What huge backlog? The issue is the corelation between the price and the games released and upcoming. The tiny list of games might I add and no 3rd party support. Wii U has the bleakest future out of the 3 no matter how you spin it, thus isn't worth as much money.

Lets move your bias opinions aside and look at facts. The Xbone has many of the same titles as the PS4 and it is *not* selling as well. Nintendo released one game and now the Wii U is turning around and is outselling the Xbone. The price has stayed the same for the Wii U while the Xbone's price has dropped. Once again, it's not the price of the Wii U that's the problem. 


Read my sig and quit the bias bullshit.

So now you're comparing the Wii U to the struggling XO? Cool. But you have problems with your perception of reality. And unfortunately, it's not the way you'd like it to be. If you go to the front page, XO has sold 20k more consoles than the Wii U last week. And this comes after the release of possibly the biggest game in the generation for Wii U. Cause that's exactly what Mario Kart 8 will possibly be. This wasn't just "one game". It was a bloody Mario Kart. It's their version of Halo. Wake up man, NOTHING is turning aroung. The game came and its effect is already gone, Wii U will most probably fall behind PS3 next week, let alone PS4 and XO.

If you think that the backlog is great and price is great as well, then why isn't it selling? What's missing? Let me tell you - the backlog isn't that awesome (it's decent, but nothing to go apeshit about) and the price is too high. That's what's wrong. N can't address the backlog in one move, but they can improve the price.


** Looks at your Sig **

Uhh... This recertifies your biasness. Mostly Sony products....

Yes, I am aware that VGcharts now shows the Xbone is outselling the Wii U, but many people believe those numbers are wrong and are waiting for the NPD, and for good reason.

Whatever the case may be, you are getting off topic. The point I'm trying to make here is that the price has little to do with the demand for the console. The console needs to produce value. The only thing to increase the value of the Wii U is to provide compelling software. Cutting the price would only give the Wii U a short boost in sales and then it'll drop back down again. Plus, it'll lower confidence among many consumers - because an even lower price would send signals that the Wii U is dying (which it isn't).
