If it is going to hurt anything, it is going to be the PS4


That hasn't been denied, hence the reason for the price drop. My question is how badly will NIntendo suffer for it with consumers since its now comfortably in between the price of the WIi U and the PS4 for the holiday season?


I'm going to say not much. Wii U is a secondary console focused on exclusives. We also don't know the pricing for their newest latest bundles or what kind of deals they'll be slinging our way. Their original Mario Kart 8 bundle with the free game was an amazing deal. This holiday season is incredibly important for Nintendo so I wouldn't be surprised to see a deal like that return with the returning MK8 or new Smash bundle.

What gets me though, is how are we going to quantify the amiibo? Do we alter how we consider success? If the amiibo has even half the attach rate of Skylanders, Nintendo could make a much larger profit with less hardware sold.
