I know it's last minute and that 8GB is clearly inferior, but I don't get all the complaining. Unlike the PS4 and X1, WiiU games typically don't require enormous patches or installs to play games. 8GB should be plenty serviceable for a lot of people.
Clearly there's 8GB white model stock to clear. They have every reason to put this at a much more affordable price point -- which means Ninty will have some idea the kind of demand they could get with a lower priced 32GB model.
I think these will likely have a solid sell-through by end of December as some Christmas gift giving will likely be pushed into the weekend since the holiday is on a Thursday...
Overall good move. Nintendo has to do everything they can to capture as much momentum as they can now so they can have an even better 2015. |
uh, that's simply not true lol, things get patched a lot on it, the answer is invest in an external storage option for it cause even 32GB is too small, I run a 2TB HDD on a docking station lol.

That's the main problem I have with the Wii U, and why I haven't gotten one yet.
It's supposedly the cheapest of the three consoles. But being forced to invest in an external harddrive so easily makes it almost the same price as its competitors. On top of the competitors offering bundles with pretty much every top title they release, and as soon as they release them, it's hard to see Wii U being tempting in terms of value. I want it because of its games, but I'm not going to pay more for something than I think it's worth. (To me.)
I'll wait and see if we'll get a proper Smash bundle in the coming months, or a price drop

Not true at all, your initial PS4 or X1 drive size is about 500-512GB and that's before it gets formatted and not counting the OS which then results in 400GB or less which is still not enough, and to upgrade or add a HDD, you'd have to spend the same amount of money. 400GB gets filled really fast if most games you get are digital which is what I do. Been doing that with Steam since the year it came out and I'm never going back to physical copies if I can help it.
