| Lucas-Rio said: It will beat the GC by having a longer life. 25-30 millions seem the total it will reach. Nintendo will probably have a great holiday season with Smash Bros and the continued sales of Mario Kart 8. A price cut would also do wonders. |
I agree on the price cut. I read what was the initial estimated cost of production for each unit and if memory serves it was like $228. That was 2012. I am guessing that figure has had to come down a bit since. Imagine an October price cut of $100 then Smas Bros. I would bet ANYTHING that would put them back on the playing field for real! Look what it did for 3DS!! It would undoubtedly signal that Nintendo is pulling out all the stops to compete. The inverse is if they don't you may have wonder if they don't think it truly will ever fully compete. They will ride it out at current pricing getting as much return as they can. I already own it so it won't mean a lower price for me, but I want to see a true valiant effort. It looks like they are doing all they can with games and amiibo, but all that coupled with a huge statement price lowering like $100 would be enormous. $199 to parents and grandparents next to $399 would be insanely hard to resist.
PLEASE NINTENDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
