When will the Wii U get a price drop and how much?

I'm not being ridiculous, it's just the way this world works. So the console is $210 in this bundle (if you assume the eshop game is worth $60, which is a blasphemy for me, I would never pay $60 for a PSN game, let alone a eshop game tied to a stupid piece of plastic and not my account). Cool. Now ask yourself what would make a bigger impact on the market and sell more consoles - such a bundle or the console for $210? Or even $230? Thought so. Which is exactly my point. This console still costs you $330. It's a good offer, but it's still $330. People look and see $330 and think they can get a PS4 for just $70 more. If the console was $230, that would be $170 more - not comparable anymore. This is how people think, this is the reality and you can't fight that.

And you are wrong, this bundle isn't available anywhere in Europe. The European one just has Mario Kart and the downloadable game in it. No WiiMote, and no Wii Wheel.

Clearly I'm not going to sway you. I still believe you're thinking is incorrect and your response to my previous post didn't really counteract any of the points I made. People look at bundles and generally say, "Wow, that bundle effectively reduces the price of the console to _____ dollars". If you're stupid, maybe you wouldn't say that, but someone with half a brain thinks the way that I just stated.

And why the hell do you care if the bundle doesn't come with a WiiMote/Wii Wheel? I thought they were worthless? Using something that's worthless to you as part of your argument? I think we're done here. Boom. *drops the mic*

I guess you won't. Some people may think that way, but the bottom line is - a lower price is a much clearer message and gets to everyone, unlike bundles. It's the difference between forcing people to think about the purchase and making it a no-brainer. And that is a massive difference. When people are to fork out $330 for a Wii U, they will be tempted to add another $70 and just get that PS4 that everyone is so crazy about. That wouldn't happen, if the price was around $230. This works especially well when people are buying a console as a gift.

Now you are being ridiculous. I'm just pointing out a fact you were wrong about.
