Nintendo have to lower the price asap, that's what the normal Joe cares about.

Nintendo doesn't need to lower price at this point. Smash Bros is going to push a lot of console sales this Christmas.  They should lower the price in march.  I would expect wiiu to outsell xbone this coming week. Right now Xbox one has a price drop and thier major christmas exclusive providing a bump.

Smash would be on top of the charts, but console wise, i doubt Wii U would have a ton of HW sales.  pre-orders alone is a good indication if people have pre-ordered a console separately outside the Smash game.  but the console is not selling that much.  i would just say, the attach rate is high, so Wii U owners that have several key nintendo IPs, would buy Smash Wii U.  but it won't push for big numbers.

hope i'm wrong but so far that is the indicator i've seen.  to push for console, nintendo should bundle it with a Wii U for Black Friday but haven't heard any news about it.
